The Love Of Bottom For The Top Poem by Abdul Wahab

The Love Of Bottom For The Top

Rating: 5.0


If I am too dark
Bottom tells the top
You are too light
Rays take you along
And play hide and sick
In different shapes
And in red, ash, white and blue

I am here at rest
With all the colours
Grey, dark and green
Wide and well spread

The ice berg
At the top of the hill
And the heat of the light
Never go long along
Side by side
When it melts you freeze
At the golden bent of the sky
With all your broken wings
Fatigue and tired
In a twilight on a hot summer day
With your mighty shape
And fear some beauty
You, too, become heavy and dark

While the ice berg, white
Rolls down rushing, in grey
To melt in the watery chest of the river
You thunder and sour your love
As rain
At the colorful moment
Of my joy and pain.

Built on paradoxes, it expresses a philosophy-bottom is in the dark and top in light and pain and joy are entwined.
