Nasra Al Adawi Poems

I have the will,
To touch the sky
And I do not need any wings
Enabling me to reach that high
...

No one else but me
Had been stared at
Like a starnger on earth
They look at me worried and afraid
...

I take a glance at you
My African lady
Your skin is full of glow
The color of the mountain
...

What is the price of these tears?
As they fall carrying huge distress
Trailing on our soul with many regrets
Our love is nothing but pain and upsets
...

At times the weather keeps reflecting on me
Touching me in an expected ways
As the desert winter floats towards my way
It leaves certain frost in my heart
...

I too walked in the valley of darkness
A lonely path filled with nothing but emptiness
Drowning in solitude of sadness
The current pulled me down into a phase of madness
...

Finding peace within myself
Finding joy within my walls
The truth of me, seem lost in a river
Uneven search to which is my place
...

So you have stopped
Stood in solitude
Slid the world out of you
Invited the silence to calm you
...

Screams continues, into a shallow silence
Distorted faces searching for survivors
Scattered bodies in an aftermath the massacred of nature
Some the earth had swallowed, some drifted by oceanic water
...

I’m tired of gazing over the light
I’m tired of the darkness that I’m in
Gazing into the light that is so far
Adapting with the darkness in fear of the unknown
...
