Altair Laahad Poems

you drink from the lake of cowardice,
while the torch of fake bravery
drips the spark of immolation
on your trees and rocks;
...

Your silence of a time bomb
when you are escaping the cacophony
of a band clearing the path to your tomb
hides the tic toc of the lurking explosion;
...

his bare foot flew,
like a cotton flake;
The little child could hurry
for shelter at a nearby tree;
...

A blue flood in the horizon seems to
Spill from the farthest layer of a sky
That stands as an umbrella
over the deep blue ocean where Men of wealth
...

A word told the wind
I trust you my friend as in god I do trust;
my name in your hand you carry
and thrust as a sharp sword into
...

The little boy runs down the street
in a neighborhood where the clamor
and discontent of a population
swirls down his ears to the brain
...

Eroded stones whisper and tell
of your glory and failure as well,
of your ancient mighty empire
and how it set far foes in fire;
...

Word feelers and tellers
in race for recognition
dig deep into their emotional hemisphere
in quest of syllables that would fall on the ear
...

Born on the wind's wings
beneath a mountain of steel
where cactus yellow flowers blossom
amid thin thorns standing erect
...

When you dislike it,
I wouldn't loathe your senses,
I would look into me again
and follow that ball of snow rolling down my marrow
...
