Zain Khater Poems

The tall majestic oak
Immortal, unmoving
Seeing all, seething all
Loathing moves through its veins
...

I take a stone and put it away
I take the soil and put it aside
Then mixed them as one
...

Caustic fluids dripping from the gills underneath
Give rise to the pilar and the shroud deep beneath
Moist from the dew caught in a web glistening
The reverberating grating filaments bristling
...

Since the day of my departure
I've been stumbling through reality
I play my symphony in reverse
In search for that special path
...

Atmosphere decays in me i fail to convict my useless days
The lack of substance circle of downfall exitless ways
Into pale wake tired attempts to crush the design
It's like nowhere i cannot sell the plight that is mine
...

All my presence died today i breathe to memories
guess i'm closing down torn and tired of my heart's sound
what's worth to me when life's not around
i will sleep tonight to sleep tomorrow if i sleep at last
...

Privileged, a chosen few
Blessed with our time in hell
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass
...
