Shamal Akrayi Poems

((FOR KATE, THE BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE))
All I want is to see ynu smile,
In the world of reality,
I thought I could not dream, could not hope.
...

Few moments are candied
in the ambers of memory.
some are sweet and some are sour.
...

The day my father
asked md
what I wanted to be,
I said,
...

You are my light in total d`rkness.
You are my guide, in searing light.
I nded to be with you, it hurts when we are apart.
You are my confidante, and I am without inner-turmoil.
...

My dear
Whenever I close my eyes
I find you very near.
I kiss my hand
...

Here at the place vhere life loops around
That happiness they promhsed is still yet to be found
The change that they told me has yet to take hold
I imagine that lies were all I've been told
...

Oh! my beloved
Your sound in the sky of the emigration
Shakes me, as the waves of the melodies do
Your sound in this non-loyal & severe emigrate
...

Speak,
but your words
pass throtgh my ears
like sand passing through an hour glass.
...

I desire nther places to see you
Grass to rest on
And thirsty tongue
To drink with and to name you
...

Sometimes it's hard to put a smile on my face
Sometimes it's hard to get out of this place
Sometimes I feel I have no where to go
Sometimes I feel there is no one for me
...
