Taher Shemaly Poems

As I started sipping
my daily lovely coffee
A race of memories just began in my mind
of old days, the hard and the easy
...

Let the sorrow nest upon this heart
Let the sad moments take this tired mind
How horrible it is to be in senseless doubt
That can come to me from the hind
...

may my sadness will settle one day
away, just far away as it could have been
in a world of dreams going to stay
with memories of childhood I've never seen
...

Spreaded the petals over
as I walked without a cover
and happiness couldn't catch over
my heart the one flying in Zurich
...

By the bless of the Almighty in His Might
I look up and with weakness I do mumble
O my Merciful, how long I've been eager
and how much before Thee shall I be humble
...

Often the boys so hardy,
try to forget the adulthood a while
Thus they go naughty,
and with games they take a trial
...

If you are chasing the wind
away from bearing life and its load
shall I tell you where to wind
away from this heavy world
...

While she was standing alone
with bare feet in this harsh and cold
'Roses, Roses, enlighten your heart'
she used to shout selling out her gold
...

when my cheeks are full
of the valleys made by the tear
and when my eyes are just gone
after my dreams that are not near
...

With the voice of the hovering silence
within the music of my heart's beats
Shall you listen with an ear of solace
about my hopes of you in great feats
...
