Rafik Romdhani Poems

Your first face smiled to me
Soon your second one frowned
Your first face came out waggingly
The second like a cloud downed
...

Oh life you tired me out
In taking this heart for a rock
On which you sunned like a beast
And grew your weeds of poison hemlock
...

The dream is right
The dream is white
Ah aye aye aye!
...

In love with the dark 'n with the light
Yapping gusts from the far South
Swishing to 'em the hem of the night
Blow and blowlike no other mouth
...

Night obscures the day's eye
But is not enemy to dawns on the way
Birds' heads now asleep under their wings
See the full light of life in blindfolded skies
...

I wrote this poem last night
Night obscures the day's eye
But is not enemy to dawns on the way
Birds' heads now asleep under their wings
...

Each new day becomes an eye
And stays forever before it passes by
Each new vagary of life is real hell
But ladder to bones inside a well
...

I can't breathe
As I bear the sound
Of wind to the seas
Waves they do weave
...

Night obscures the day's eye
But is not enemy to dawns on the way
Birds' heads now asleep under their wings
See the full light of life in blindfolded skies
...

Lines on her Lips
Rivers of morning coffee
She tastes and sips
I find her a regiment of waves so roughy
...
