AN ICY CHESSBOARD Featured in Arab World Books and ACT Writers' Poetry Evening in Australia
Poetry by Mona Omar
on an icy ivory chess-board
rosy dreams lie.
I tremble, longing
blue bleak swords of wisdom
tame a rebel heart,
into a bronze-black rock
pure profuse pearl drops
crack the rock, leaving
a lifetime's longing
****
Come Closer Love
Come closer love
Fill my days with sunshine
Shake off the cloak of sadness
Light all the candles
Let me swim in milk and honey
Let me bathe in fire
Cuddle my days
Hold on tight
Never let go
****
Not My Jar
Potter man
hands so clever
shaping mud
all day round
musical fingers
beautiful jars
giving birth
all day round
one with a handle
one with a smile
your pots come alive
potter man
your shelf so proud, but
i am not your jar
never try to shape my life
potter man
