Micropoems by Taghrid Bou Merhi

Heavy Tears 

The departure came

It collected the old bags

And left behind its absence 

And the Mirage

And the heavy tears…!

□

Breath

I came 

holding with me 

A picture of your brown face

That carry your good breath

In a smell of delicious waiting!

□

Perched on a Flower

This is Me

Like a bee celebrating her feat,

Or a butterfly perched on a flower,

I am a child of life 

and the tree of love...!

□

Drowsy Eyes 

Before the drowsy eyes sleep

Come, hug me and kiss me

To awaken the pulses

And sweeten the nighttime…!

□

All My Love 

Like a moody bird 

flying in dreamy evenings,

I loved you

With all the passion and longing

And despite the vastness of the universe

This universe can't hold 

all my love for you...!

□
