Once You Leave

Samer Amin

 

 

 

The blank inanimate walls of expressionless solitude,

 

 

 

are more rewarding than seeing your haughty visage with its condescending sardonic scowl.

 

 

 

Hearing the echo of dead silence stroking the walls of an empty room,

 

 

 

is preferable to hearing your shrill ranting,

 

 

 

which always makes me feel that this world is not a pleasant place to live in.

 

 

 

It could be wiser to speak to the seemingly lifeless furniture rather than your inattentive ears.

 

 

 

While venting to indifferent ears may be benign,

 

 

 

the ever-present opponent, ready to attack,

 

 

 

whenever a conversation reveals any exploitable weak points,

 

 

 

is the most repulsive thing that has ever existed on this planet.

 

 

 

The cold chill of the night is warmer than your icy shoulders,

 

 

 

which look like the frozen mountaintops in gale-force winds,

 

 

 

especially if a mountaineer is stranded and has to flee high winds for his own survival.

 

 

 

Asking for your support in the midst of a crisis,

 

 

 

is akin to avoiding hot weather by plunging into a roaring fire,

 

 

 

or the awful sequences of sipping bitter salty sea water to quench someone's thirst.

 

 

 

The sizzling hellish electromagnetic waves emitted by your agitated spirit,

 

 

 

are capable of causing unrest and chaos in practically every tranquil spot on this planet.

 

 

 

Because of your presence, inexplicable hostility arises between me and myself,

 

 

 

as well as between everything in the house.

 

 

 

When you go, the unspeakable serene tranquillity finds its way back into my spirit, 

 

 

 

and I, as well as all animate and inanimate objects in the house,

 

 

 

rejoice at the reappearance of the peacemaker, the heavenly light

    'It could be wiser to speak
    to the seemingly lifeless furniture
    rather than your inattentive ears.

    While venting
    to indifferent ears, may
    be benign

    the ever-present opponent, ready
    to attack
    whenever a conversation, reveals
    any exploitable weak points, is the most
    repulsive
    thing, that has ever existed on this planet.'
    (that need
    to rebut, a sentence
    before
    ever hearing, a syllable
    is modernity's
    most depressing, innovation)
    war's was necessary, at first
    so one side
    can have the Final word, nowadays
    Wars
    are meaninglessly manufactured, just
    so one side, can have
    their words, heard...
    (and on: it devolves...)
    thanks for sharing, your insightful wisdom
    dear poet
