Altair Laahad Poems

When the universe flows out of your heart
in hyperbolic resonance heard by the few
circles sharing your esoteric intersection,
they laugh and weep to your mirth and sorrow
...

It happened once in amazon
The wooden boat set sail alone
With little kids and mom and dad
Were jovial all together glad
...

As he dreamed of slamming the door
and walking away on a path
where oxygen abounds
and no word astounds
...

He wrapped her within his soft breath
that flowed like winds
from a remote paradise
...

When you scatter my ashes
to the four winds,
and I'm nowhere but in the dead air,
in a cold memory of overdone fire,
...

I feel its roots stretching deep
and stirring old memories
calling my eyes of a boy to sleep
on the callous skin of manhood
...

When you surrender visibility
To the hypnosis of the surrounding turmoil,
And give your fiber to the air
And to the waves,
...

You soaked your words
in ancient wine,
that you did not inherit from a fortunate ancestry;
it was distilled drop by drop
...

Like the mature thief giving his yellowish tongue
to the mimic,
build chunks of phrases with the bricks
of low-frequency words,
...

Like a sly wolf dragging a shy cat
to his den, he laid her on his hairy bosom
and chewed her in kisses;
as many as the stars,
...
