HOW LONG? HOW FAR?

Poem by Mahmoud Said Kawash
HOW LONG? HOW FAR?

The closed alphabets and indexes can only accommodate you
The lines carry the weight of your feeling of dread
The withered flowers carry the scent of your coming to me
The pulses penetrate deeply into the forests of poems
Their roots branch out inside you to extreme extents
To what extent will you remain immersed in the depths of my alphabets?
Sailing between my ebb and tide and mastering the art of drowning within me
How long will you remain travelling with the night in the stillness of distant silence?
How long you will live in the silent sand palaces of the impossible
Holding on to the roots of my love
Quenching your buried thirst from the confusion that lies between the depths of my letters!!
How far will you live in the cities of my love?
How long you will remain still without a whisper of nostalgia?
Tell me how to break the scales of my love and prepare my own bags
I don’t know how to scatter my papers and return my hair to prisons of chains
Help me how to bury my longing among the folds of my pillow
And hide my smiles created by no one but you
Tell me!! Help me!!
Please hurry and help me!! Please!! Please!!
