NEVER ASK By Luz María López






NEVER ASK
Luz María López

Never ask. Let it be the silence. Rain, breeze, thunder. The quiet moment in the eyes, the farewell. And then, let it be a scream also because nothing else will be left. Maybe, just maybe, some jasmine and blues hanging around, for a while. Like when you whispered love songs. Like when I kissed you sweet.

The whirling dance is in a white robe of shrouds with a tall cap covering head of the tomb of carnality ultimate goal.

In the Roses path by Hassan al-Mahdi




The colorful butterflies dance with me, I am who is the aromatic tree. I open thousands sleeve over my face that comes from a distant nebula. Nebula that doesnot fit the devourers or the rodents.
Laying my hands as trunks dangle with breeze of the morning for the canarys and sparrows, meanwhile the pink color coronate the other side of the sun.
The time fannished in the black sheets and the love talismans were written by hot cloud rain draw from my eye at sympathy awhile. And in the path of roses. I look with the grace at the poor red dragonfly faltering in the throw of purpose. Oh, lost dreams in the kingdom of immortality between the bow and the arrow poison venom.
In the roses path, there are only the shadows headers in the courtyard bay, space smoke, fire attendants and a crystaly tragedies enveloping the bodies.

The Old Oak Tree by Walid Boureghda






She had scrounged an instant of silence from time, and had commenced to forage around in the stream of events. Although the wind was heavily blustering and the leaves were swayingly falling off the trees, a total tranquility was soundly overwhelming all through before her. Her single reflection just showed up whilst she was staring at the old oak tree in the nearby, questionably wondering how awkwardly the gusty wind was wagging its branches. 
The wind was spotlessly trying to break down the old oak's bole; yet the tree was highly adamant, only its dead leaves naturally fell off, just like her tears of despair when her eyes were fully shedding down her rosy cheeks. Despite the disappearance of pain and the stillness of its blemishing effects, her crystal tears were miraculously sent forth as a magic balm on the incurable wounds.
