Susie Gharib Poems

It yearns to greet the light that shines from his eyes,
An Assyrian's, whose arms will rip the blackness that enshrouds its shrines,
Wiping the tears of its minarets with a hand-held flag,
With church-bells ringing for the pledge enthroned in his heart,
...

There are lions that guard the gates of light
Whose cubs may slumber but with eyes that pierce the dark;
How dare you sneak into our multifarious but harmonious rites
With alien snipers who have the semblance of Lucifer's clowns!
...

For M.A.

Behold, my valiant Commander-in-Chief,
I'm thus ordained to be the Star on your shield,
...

Fish

Remember! Fish is not a dish,
It is a creature with a wish.
