Six Micropoems by Taghrid Bou Merhi

Like a Cloud 

A question jumps over a question

Like a cloud 

flapping their shadow across me

My alter ego 

in the heights of places!

□

The Rose

Even in her illness

It smile

The rose of the heart!

□

Waiting 

The time It has turned upsid down

Laughs dreamy

Waiting for his to get back!

□

He Knows 

The wait

He complains about loneliness

And knows how much I love you!

□

Fragrance 

Whatever

fragrance your smile might be

You won't bloom her flowers

Kiss details!

□

Imagination 

In the imagination of the poets

A love embracing another love

Mooning poem!

Three Micropoems by Taghrid Bou Merhi : Environment Special

Paper
In its details, half a soul
And the second half
Tree spirit.
□
High
Plant a tree
Funchy air chord
Touch her.
□
Plastic 
Don `t give up
Not to melt
Between the sun's ribs.

Five Micropoems on Love by Taghrid Bou Merhi

LOVE

And I have a lover in this world ,

When we talk my heart heals,

I flirt with him and the gardens revive,

He flirts with me

 and the sweetest fragrances spread!

□ 

LONGING

Behind the seas I have a lover,

With his love my heart beats,

My longing exploded and caught fire,

Whoever will blow out the flame 

of what can not be extinguished…!

□

OH HEART

What do you love about her?

My heart asks me,

I envision her, Oh heart,

The sun and the moon.

If you blamed me for what 

I am going through,

Oh heart, take my eyes 

and look with them, then you shall see!

□

REALITY

Your love is like music,

With it I soar from the bottom of my heart,

I feel you inside me as if you are my heartbeat,

And in my dreams 

I see you the most beautiful reality!

□

LOVE MADNESS

In the presence of longing,

I do not know what to classify my delusions,

When I feel your absence,

And I know that you are 

the only reason for all my madness!…

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...!
