A Summer Memory Revisited
Jan 24th, 2012 | By El Habib Louai | Category: Poetry | 63 viewsThe feeling of arriving suddenly surprised
To a dear far place you once missed
With a heart so lonely distanced
Am I certainly here?
Are you certainly there?
Just as if we never met
Somewhere on a day so wet
You, sitting in a lounge
Me, in my own empty loge
A smile crossed your lips
A memory crossed my mind
And we both met in a picture
We happened to share together
Back in a bohemian Moorish summer
Maybe an overnight spent apart
Do we occur to each other?
Or is it just a simple surrender
To things as they move adrift
Uncontrolled by some stream
As boats in a Melbournian dream
Sensations, sensibility and sufferance
Things I hardly could bear since
I wish I could be there
Just somewhere a bit near
To hold your hand again dear
And kiss your fresh lips so fair

About El Habib Louai: I am a young man of 25 years old , full of life and great ambitions.I am right now teaching English and I hope that I'll end up doing the same thing in one of those universities I admire most. I am a poet, too and I just finished translating my first books of poetry. I was born in a village and I like that type of living ,nothing can go beyond simplicity.I have this propensity of meeting people from all over the world from my childhood hours.I like sharing discussions about culture with all its aspects.I would like to contribute,at least as much as i can ,to change the kind of hatred and abhorrence that govern our world today. I am eager to meet people from different religious, ethnic,racial and cultural backgrounds and with different attitudes and ways of thinking about life trying to find a way to a peaceful co-existence. I am a writer/poet who is depicting all the time the kind of experiences that he had in every city he passed by during his educational career. |
