Suzy Kassem Poems

Everything
Turns,
Rotates,
Spins,
...

Do not focus too much on the east,
And forget the west.
And do not ignore the south,
To speak for the north.
...

Great people will always be mocked by those
Who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
...

When you crave the answer to any divine question,
And are prepared to abandon yourself
To Truth and Time to know it,
You must first train yourself to distinguish
...

Love
Has a way of wilting
Or blossoming
At the strangest,
...

When the sun rises over the horizon,
The butterfly emerges to dance in its brilliant light.
It flickers its colorful wings with euphoria,
To celebrate all the beauty found
...

He spins and spins and spins
To remove all three layers of him
And with devout discipline
He spirals to ignite the light within.
...

Where you find Truth
Is where you find your reflection
And where you find your reflection
Is where you find love
...

You once told me
You wanted to find
Yourself in the world -
And I told you to
...

It should not matter -
That we grew up
On opposite banks,
Opposite streets,
...
