Zesty Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Zesty

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Mr. Carl Harris, a great poet at poemhunter)

Daybreak softly
Breaks my weak
Fills me completely
With thousands fragrances

You plays Debussy’s La Cathédrale Engloutie
Very straight to my heart
Lavender essence hugs me
Pulls me into uplifting nuances

Lively afternoon
Attracts my perspective
Covers me strongly
With thousand wishes

You plays Bach’s Goldberg Variations
Very smooth to my spirit
Rosemary essence relaxes me
Pull me into Spring blooming

Romantic evening
Captives my soul
Pours me tenderly
With thousands blossoms

You plays Schumann’s Chiarina
Very intimate to my feeling
Geranium essence surrounds me
Pulls me into joyful moments

Mysterious midnight
Captures my breath
Envelopes me deeply
With thousands dreams

You plays Bartok’s Mikrokosmos
Very clear to my sense
Peppermint essence revitalizes me
Pull me into austere world

O William Wordsworth!
I learn expressively
The meaning of your ballads
Why can’t my heart
Begin to share?

O Percy Shelley!
I learn diligently
The meaning of your rhymes
Why can’t my heart
Begin to move?

O Thomas Traherne!
I learn patiently
The meaning of your verses
Why can’t my heart
Begin to communicate?

O Sylvia Plath!
I learn enthusiastically
The meaning of your words
Why can’t my heart
Begin to love?

O Pablo Picasso!
O Les Demoiselles d'Avignon!
I don’t want to regret being born
There is courage
Inside my destiny

O Vincent van Gogh!
O The Red Vineyard!
I can surely grab happiness
I can see clearly
A glimpse of Love’s sparkle

O Claude Monet!
O Impression: soleil levant!
My heart is still moved at precious gestures
Unhesitatingly toward future
I always feel you in me

(inspired by Muzio Clementi’s Piano and Keyboard Music)

CARL HARRIS DESERVES THIS TRIBUTE BECAUSE HIS COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS SUPERIOR. MY BEST TO YOU AND YOURS, CAROL
