Love At The Time Of Bombs Poem by Ali Rahimi

Love At The Time Of Bombs



In the dark mysterious night,
When nothing is seen in sight,
In the shadows of doubt, mist of faith, fog of thought,
You are glittering, dazzling bright,
Diamond is always diamond, gold is gold, never blight,
Love at the time of bombs,
I love you at the time of plague, cholera, earthquake, malaria, famine, drought,
I cherish you at the time of blitz, bombs, grenades, drones, onslaught,
In the crossfire of ideological catfight, patriarchal dogfight, political bullfight,
I sympathetically hug you in Gaza strips, I amorously embrace you in Rwanda,
I fondly fold you in my arms in Syria, kiss you affectionately in Somalia,
I lovingly hold you tight in Afghanistan, cuddle you warmly in Saudi Arabia,
Love at the time of bombs,
Love at the time of bombs,
Love at the time of bombs,
Love at the time of bombs,
I publically display my love under bombs, shells, bullets, day and night,
Without any fear, hesitation, grief, without any fright,
Yes love at the time of human stupidity, love at the time of plight,
Love at the time of human cold-blooded cruelty, left and right,
Love at the time of politicians’ brutality, trying to be in spotlight,
In war and peace, thick and thin, joy and pain, I will fight,
For you, to capture your smile, conquer your heart,
Shall martyr myself for your cause, martyr of the torchlight,
To hear you I needn’t ears,
To touch you I needn’t hands, skin, senses,
To see you I needn’t eyes, eyesight!
I can feel you deep with my soul, clear with my spiritual veins, emotional skin and insight,
With all my substance, fabric, existence and in delight,
You are the star in the filament, shining like a skylight,
You are the dawn, the time, the being, the horizon, the twilight,
In the dark mysterious night,
Lovers shall never fall, lovers shall never sink, lovers shall never fail,
They float on the ocean of love,
They are captains at the helm, commanders of their heart and fate,
Remain forever glorious and victorious,
Love at the time of bombs, love at the time of war …
