Haiku # 714

Hazmieh, Lebanon, 22-02-2022

I look at it, this world,
and in my eyes the last ray
of a setting sun

Haiku # 689

The rain is falling…
in silence we sit
listening to the rain

~

كالتائهِ في الليل
بين الكلماتِ أتبع الضو
 الات من بعيد

~

Winter evening –
in my heart the slow burn
old memories…

Everyone have left
the road of my life
deepens into the sunset

I lost my sister to cancer on February 03, 2015. This week the doctor told me that my mother’s cancer is terminal, and that her life expectancy is a few months at best.

Haiku# 672

Winter night…
a lone star outshining
all the city lights

~

هي ترتدي
ما يحيكه لها من نفسه
ونار الكلمات

~

I love her silently
the ghost in the mirror
of my lonely years

~

A life of hiking
one day I’d like to vanish
in the stillness of the sky

~

حزني
في مرآته أرى
جمال الأشياء

~

Plus blanche
pour toucher sa peau
la lumière de la lune

~

Whiter
for touching her skin
the light of the moon

Winter twilight…
in the light of sunset
my dissolving years

Senryu # 74

Carpentry of silence,
upon her lips
the red dawn.

~

Menuiserie de silence,
au bout de ses lèvres
l’aube rouge.

~

Basking in her scent,
the faint afterglow
of the setting sun.
