After I lost you in the crowd

Added by Youssef Abdul-Samad

     After I lost you in the crowd   I found both of my eyes in tears, And I heard all my ribs, moan­ing for you. I went back to the streets of the city Look­ing in every cor­ner, Gaz­ing in the faces of strangers. Think­ing… If I can’t see you, I would hear your voice. If  I can’t hear your voice, I would smell your fra­grance, For, you smell dif­fer­ent. And If I can’t breath-in your fra­grance, My heart would lead my blind eyes to find you.   I have been search­ing for you since for­ever, In all the women I met. For I have been with many women of all kinds. Of dif­fer­ent tastes, Of dif­fer­ent col­ors and beau­ties. There were parts of you in each woman, but not all of you. And I never found what my heart was after, I never found the One…   And you..!! You have a lit­tle bit from every­one, And you are all of the women. But, What belongs to me, no one can have. What belongs to me is mine, And only mine. You are my per­fect one, You do not only look dif­fer­ent, But you smell, taste and sound dif­fer­ent.   Let every man finds his wife, And let every woman finds her hus­band, Read the Rest…

For the inner ear, the voice of the vessel of silence is an embrace felt by an infinite number of scribes. It is my wish to offer here an oasis of present day poetic pens.
