Joman Abumahfouz Poems
- 1. “a Figure Of Speech”
this is where our story takes a turn .
where all the abruptness in the world starts to connect . where everything we thought was accidental starts to make sense . where all my broken pieces patronize me, and i patronize them back.
i was chosen to stand longingly on the ground where all miseries occur,and you were chosen to lie under them . you get to lie,and i get to inescapably feel them .
... - 2. “apocalypse”
streets are empty
guns are banned
a homo sapiens reunion
under a nobody’s land
... - 3. “night”
do i stand still on the sea
and let it wash me right
do i let my words free
and be held to my word
... - 4. “grief”
maybe it’s true
things we experience shape us to be the person we are today
make us who we are
a bit tougher,and more used to all feelings life inevitably forces us to thoroughly experience
... - 5. Silent Poetry
In a room all alone
I sit on the floor
I make up a rhyme
and a shadow makes it through the door
...
