Nell Haque

We can laugh away the fears
shadowed intruders
if only at them
could we laugh

They would loose
and we would gain
over all the weary doubts
if we could but only
laugh

Heal the pain
with few tears
ever, ever
laughing dear
with the heart

Love dweller
of all hearts
who lives
as well in me
has my head
full of honey
and my chest
full of bees

He is the sweet tone
of each note’s
melody
the ingredient
of each moment
that makes joy
and what am I?
I am becoming
The staff where he writes
from do to do
do re mi fa so la si do

Smiles like a spring
long eye lashes make shade
for two pools, lighted coals
at the noon of the day.
Teasing, he gave me water
and a trinket to play
a live glowing blue diamond
that became a bubble
and he jumped into it
hide and seek of my faith
I played and laughed with it

then became reflections
like mirrors
on the walls

He becomes now dissolves
as a carousel turns
sweet a merry go round
spin the head as turns
honey sweet the arrow pierces
the heart, the hands, the head
lost in the light he shines
bright that blinds me

We slide, lift, sway
lost in the light the Soul
We rock, wave
and dissolve,
I became a mirror
valley, river, plant, earth
I died to rise again

I was the hand, feet, heart
his light became my head
danced to the moon, the light
danced to the sea, the waves
we danced the here and now
in the wonder of bliss

Are you the one
who all those bells is ringing
who fills my eyes
my head, my heart,
with honey
and at each dawn
awakens me
in the sweetness
of heavenly madness

A child girl
A clear mirror
wondering eyes
born yesterday
Will be a woman
a wife a friend

What will you make
out of her
Will she be a portrait?

Someone you hate?
will she be an enemy?
will she be a mate?

Interrogated
Sex estimated
wife
kneaded into dough
amassed

Stimulated
Intimidated
made into bread
measured and weighed
Roasted and baked
unheard
Wombman.

The land was dancing
the noon’s sun played its bugle
Happy the moments hid
behind the hours
as we stayed
for a while
togethering.

I was the mouth
you were the syllable
you were the itch
I was the scratch

Afternoon’s shadows
stilled the dancing joy
and the seconds
heavy chilled
lifeless
the gathering

Firm in the path
The little joy
lightens the way
as goes along

Pouring twinkles
in each heart
love on their faces
makes smiles laugh.

Swiftly the winter days
Rinse their glum

At the harbor
Spring will soon be here
In bloom

Drunk in love
With loving
Stringing metaphors
Staggering
I am

Silvery water
Turns into mirror
Shining holds the image
Of the sky

Anticipating sweetness
I see the seagulls
Twirling and dancing Above

The lone boat glides
With the lone rower
Across the silky waters
Good bye…

Nobody had entered
In his hidden might
They called him a pauper, a tramp
He wiped away tears
From the wrinkled faces
Of women and men
He loved evenly
Everyone

From moment to moment
Intently changing
The wrong into right
He was of no account!
Nobody

The Grail, The Cup
The Sapient, Excelsior
The Christ

When your drop of love
falls in my body
of reverberant waters
you will feel as I feel
that you are the sea

From your essence
from your heart’s core
in a place deep within
will spring forth your love

Palpitating your flesh
sweet will run
through your chest
the honey of a bliss

The essence of your passion
ascending to your eyes
you’ll pray of joy with tears
on my altar of love

I am the one who draws
from you the Shadows
and speaks to you in silence
the one who gives you breath
the one who breaks the hours
to create timelessness

You are the dewdrop
that got lost in the night
I am the one who waits
playing at the sea shores
waiting for your return

But someday
you’ll return to my shore
I will hold you to me
and an ocean of love
in my arms we will be

When your drop of love
Falls in my body
of reverberant waters
you will be what I am:
The sea, the sea, the sea
