We are delighted to host a brand new Guest Writer on the Untitled Chapters website. We hope you enjoy Hassan Al Hammadi ‘s poem titled “A Lot for a small time”
A full moon fills the night
Strings of light sparkles around,
Her cheeks,
Her eyes,
And her smile
Such a small world, tonight
Expanded beyond the skylines
An angel touched my soul
Life is a beauty once more
We shared a lot for a small time
Our laughter
The happiness
The surprise and delight
In harmony and grace
Happy I am in her presence
Sadness rains once she’s gone
My soul and life
Both have survived
The cruelty of all
Yet they collapsed
Broke and scarred inside
With a simple goodbye
The darkness surrounds
The frost is blowing
The loud silence of emptiness inside
I scream but no one hears
Will time repeat itself?
To share a lot for a small time…
Will there be a full moon?
For another time
Will there be strings of light?
For another picture of paradise
Painted with sparkles all around,
Her cheeks,
Her eyes,
And her smile…?
