Unwritten Verses, a Poem by Ramzi Albert Rihani


Photograph by David Brooke Martin

The ink is dry

The poet hasn’t finished his poem

He repeats the unwritten verses

Like a mirage in a desert

Memory reigns

Scrambled thoughts rush like adrenalin

Waiting for the moment

To descend on paper.

Dust awaits the rain

To wash away glimpses of reality

A large river overflows with rainbows

And fills the city with make-belief fantasy.
