Symphony Tonight

Sheikha A.

The sounds of loneliness sing
through the eyes,

hear them in the slow sweeping
of oars in still waters,

the overlooking moon’s breathing
like a wolf behind a bush,

a faint whistle of a white winter
owl on a barren bough;

there is a song playing on repeat
in my head

about love’s conquers, happy
melodies in your smile,

your grim stare of a hunter’s,
the sound of wind

between your fingers as your run
them through your hair,

the drop of my heartbeat
in the lock of your look,

the shovelling of sand
under our toes as we walk,

the whimpering of foams
as the water writhes,

the gentle thumping of the pier,
you urging me towards the sea –
