Muhammad Hesham Poems
Other passers-by
come,
from where we used to come,
and go into the night.
...
In my morning this morning
Who looks at me, in surprise,
From the mirror?
...
A night is searching its night:
It is not this darkness
Nor the sombreness of the sea
It is not the slumber of plants
...
Not only hands
Words fail the poet too.
From the hidden depths of the soul
...
Snips of dried petals,
Scraps of faded papers,
Echoes of scattered words,
And an endless waiting for miracles –
...

The Best Poem Of Muhammad Hesham
A Road Without You
Other passers-by
come,
from where we used to come,
and go into the night.
The night
merges two shadows into one
and my shadow is lonely
dispersed by the light.
The light
disturbs lusts in the eyes
and leaves my eyes victims
to this tumult.
The tumult
hinders the primitive dialogue
between the murk and a torrent of desires
and between the road and footfalls.
What has led my steps
to look for
our scattered steps
on a road without you?
(Translated from Arabic by the author)
