Ahmad Shiddiqi Poems

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Mohammed Al-balushi)

a hard rain
dropped last night
...

who knows?
keep writing!
keep on rhyming!
enjoy your life!
...

I carry within shells
Indescribable feelings
Amidst luscious dreams
I carry unraveling memories
...

(dedicated to Ms. Dawn Upshaw, a great soprano)

why you so pale?
O fallen feather!
...

(dedicated to Ms. Lorraine Hunt, a great mezzo-soprano)

a fallen leaf
hugs the roof
...

a cloud came down
and spread over
it kept on coming
closer and closer
...

a small landlocked country
eastern Pyrenees mountains
bordered by Spain and France
...

(dedicated to Fay Slimm, a great poet at poemhunter)

we're just very direct with each other
we give each other information in
...

there is a magic
in the way you walked
along a whispering green road
it resonates in your sweet smiles
...

(dedicated to Mr. Thomas Adès, a great conductor and composer)

What make you
So sad and pale
...
