When the Departed Beloved Lives Nigh

When the Beloved Lives Nigh
Poem by: Freeyad Ibrahim

Departure of the beloved is Painful
When she dwells Far
No choice for the poor lover
But to …
Cry

But it is more painful
If the beloved dwells …
Nigh
There is a daily meeting
With the beloved
Not Mouth to Mouth
Not hand to hand
But Eye to …
Eye

The agony is tense
The distress is dense
The tension is …
High
That is why
The teared eyes
Won't...
Dry

Every day by each passing …
By
A new Wound opens
By every eye wink
Rises a seared sigh…
High
Nothing is available
For the powerless poor
But to sob and …
Sigh

Cry..Cry.. Cry…
Sob and Sigh
High to the …
Sky
That is...
Why
The Arabic poetSays:
The most painful Suffering
Arouses from Separation
When the Beloved
Lives
Nearby
While you lack the means
To reach her
To talk to her
When she passes…
By

Like Camels in the Desert
Overloaded with water-skins
Nevertheless
From Thirsty
They…Die
