Gone
By Hiba Mezni
And you left your shadow on my pure body
Like a cap of milk mixed with toddy
But now, it’s gone
As that smile of our naïve, foolish fights
As the Jazz we danced on that one night
I remember you lost your rhythm
And your metaphysics of time
Under my fallen dress
Life was so tragic…
As Phaedra’s destiny
As Chopin’s Nocturne melody
Blood in my veins had flux density
While my soul used to bleed
But now it’s gone
As the memory of your first met
In the land of nowhere, in lost... I bet
In a temple at the age of wars
When your dimples enlightened like thousand stars
Where guns’ shots played us a special waltz
Out of our pain, out of our thoughts
Then yeah, your illusionist smile when you…
Finally, reposed a kiss on my naked poems of you…
Now, it faded away
And it’s gone
You used to look so clean like sea
Empty and calm but full of mystery
Didn’t know I can drown so quickly, yet so deep
Like a disaster, like Shakespeare’s Oedipus
At the sight of the colour of your lips met the morning sun
Like a painting on some Vienna’s walls
Like a metaphor of burning fire when snow falls
Like abnormal belief of comebacking souls
About multiple lives for some bodies with holes
And that terrifying reflexion about the infinite emptiness after existence
Oh, this reminded me of Opera plays with charming actress
All the magic it had
And the music in my head
How this memory now makes me sad…
Even when it’s all gone
The wild blue little heaven on top of our world
Told me that I should write you a final word
But to me, poems will keep me detainee in you forever
I know you are always as lovely as ever
As moonlight, as cuddles and touches at cold weather
No, it ain’t be that sweet, it will turn to poison
As long at it is meant, as long as it’s not freely chosen
Love has lost its black art
And for this, I’ll be gone..
