 Four Poems Ahmad Alkhatat Silent Cry Desire to Die Cold Coffin Unforgettable Beauty Silent Cry The full moon rises over the metropolitan It reminds me of the head of the combatant He was formerly surrounded, his people and his enemy, whom they sentenced him to death by hanging, he died his people became candles. When your heart stops beating, you will think that your last wounds will burn your weak breath My logical sense said that “go brighter then burst”. Nobody but you and my mental health knows that I composed my happiness and autumn sang my grief. My professor asks if I need to take a break from writing I scream at the classroom and with a low voice I say it “We are all made of stars, now we are the muted orphans, with blind tears to water on the moon, where my first child drew flowers and a beautiful woman, he said dad, that's mom”. When mercy rains over my shoulder, I feel like a healthy tree with leaves writing a poem for the scent of orange mint and -honey, from the time I began to realize that I need to take care my strength and morale, if I ever want to expand my feelings of honouring the woman who will hold my spirit away from silent cry. 28/03/2021 Bleeding Heart Poet Desire To Die Who am I to write this poem? Who are you to desire to die? We could not face an earthquake; We hardly dream of dying in thirst. I write about you in your languages Yet, you hurt me with your sentence Still, I hurt myself with my commas We occasionally craved to live in peace. If I bleed, I will bleed rainbow colours If I laugh, I laugh and vomit the pieces of my broken heart, for you burning my black and white canvases mercilessly. My body nostalgic for the all sad nights, Our intention to death is very unpleasant My grandparents visited me in a sad dream, Continue and write about the unseen galaxy. Write about her blowing silky hair in the dawn, and rather than moaning, sing and dance with no self-hate, soak your hands and face with the rain of this woman who enlightens your planets. 03/11/2021 Bleeding Heart Poet Copyright Cold Coffin For how long will I miss holding your warm hands? I recharge my old phone and read your text messages, Happiness has no room in my thirty-one years, I feel that I am a nonentity but a cold coffin. Being blindly pleased for a miserable life It's like an optimist burning his dreams and staying awaken with candlelight that cannot make wishes to succeed The poet in my heart sentenced his verses to death The grey hair on my head will never turn black again As the numbers of bottles of liquors will be expanding -more than before, only because I sense your scent Did you know that nobody calls me? Did you know that I was the stranger in your -funeral, even when the angels recognized my prayers when I wept in front of the guests who held plastic hearts. My whole flesh will rest on the cold coffin, Without inhaling breath cigarettes smoke or drinking the whiskey in the church of sinners to enjoy the nasty flavour of sin and die isolated. 23/12/2020 Bleeding Heart Poet Unforgettable Beauty She is an Extremely unforgettable beauty, She holds a heart filled with eternal love, I am not afraid to draw her at late hours, I was drunk remembering her yet, I am thirsty to colour her. My tongue has forgotten all the languages I have learned, but her name always seems present in my mind, like the moment I ask for -a cigarette and a lighter to abuse my lungs. Our enemy has turned “HOPE” into a blind mirror, That examines what's inside and not the outside, We were young when the horrible war began, my spirit became an empty space of a yellow bus backseat. In high school, my favourite class was poetry class, I write about my emotionally unstable, and her favourite -classroom was mathematics where she counts the days of me being silent with a smile that she will hold my hands. 03/11/2021 Bleeding Heart Poet Copyright  Bio:
