After
Roger Humes
 

 

 
 

 

After we connected
      with the echo of the gospels, broken hymns
Arabic thought
      after we weaved the finest of tapestries,
the holy spirit, Attar’s flock of birds
     shattered the illusion of self-portrait,
silence was never an option, the history of my wounds
      mirrored the pain of your self-inflicted cry,
and my voice broke its fast to tell you
      the moment I began to love you
was when your poems made me realize
      what happened before
didn’t belong to us.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.. - C. S. Lewis

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. - Anton Chekhov
