In this poem, Zaki Al Ali shows us how deep love can be, even with long distance
Messenger of heaven
Are you one of the messengers of heaven
I’ve read tons of novels written
About a woman who will be born in
the streets of Damascus region
Remembered as a legend
Remembered as a star
She was saying I wrote my history
onto everybody
I became a song in your memory
All to see you
Would you hold my scarf
When the night comes out of the blue?
I fall onto the bed covered by jasmine,
touched by her soul
and the feeling of her earrings cold
on my cheeks
I felt the trembling in my body,
as the light swallows me whole
She is a queen, straight from my dreams
She is the woman from the stories
And I’ve seen her in all of her glory
She will be known by everybody as a star
Would you hold my scarf
When the night comes out of the blue?
I fall onto the bed covered by jasmine, touched by her soul
Looking for more successful poems and poetry from Iraqi poet Zaki Al Ali
Best of luck
