TALAL KASSAD Poems

Hardly a day goes by
Without a dream or thought.
I lived where she can never tell-
I lived inside her heart.
...

Chorus:

Address yourself to things that show the truth,
To things that more mislead than guide the youth.
...

I. THE FIRST MEETING

THE HORSE
...

THE CHORUS

A small but cunning flea once vowed
To make the kingdom shout aloud-
...

There I was, but there I’ll go again.
Towards an eastern land I make my way,
Wherefrom arose the sun-like beauty,
Wherein the sunshine used to be all day.
...

One day I pledged myself to come alive,
And on the nectar of her rose survive.

She has no eyes, nor has she hair,
...

Come ye mistress! Use your mind!
To that Andrew don’t be kind!
Don’t resemble those who say:
When deluded “Never Mind”
...

That day I wondered how the sun
Could neither set at noon
Nor leave his tiring work undone
To lie beside the moon.
...

The Best Poem Of TALAL KASSAD

Love At No Sight

Hardly a day goes by
Without a dream or thought.
I lived where she can never tell-
I lived inside her heart.

Therein I found so many veins,
Each could feed an eye.
I touched a vein and let a tear fall
With a view to irrigating her sylvan eyes.
But once her eyes grew so misty,
A dropp of tear rolled down warmly...
And then her chest embraced her tears,
For they were once so near-
They were once inside her heart.

But we, by love, were never sinners
Because our love was purified.
She only loved my eyes which never beheld her own,
And so I came to love her own,
By means of which I saw her heart.
