Ifriqiyan lands
The Ifriqiyan rivers
In the Ifriqian rivers,
The water is purple like wine.
And there she comes.
To find her own way.
In the purple-colored water,
Full of infinite battlefields.
Where time and space were endless.
Where the challenges come one by one.
Where she struggles but survives,
Like a fish.
Swimming in an eternal river.
She swims with infinite forces.
Going deep into the river.
To uncover their hidden mysteries.
The river that is strong like a glass,
Cutting everything that it crosses.
She jumps in and out of the water.
Looking for something in and out of two worlds.
With words that are unspoken.
But at the end,
Out of her wisdom.
Stars
She comes like a star in the sky.
Pointing out to the east.
Twinkling 365 times a year in an harmonious way.
In her own style.
The style of the greatest of all.
With an smile
Full of shining life.
She moves around the skies
Always in search of the east wind.
Hoping the someday he'll appear again.
When she thinks she's walked too far,
She stops and continues the journey in the next day.
Doing it incessantly.
As if there was no ending.
Someday, the east wind himself came
And then he suddenly disappeared.
She didn't know why so she ran through
All the galaxies thinking she could still
Find him.
But it was late, and the black holes
Had sent him to other dimensions
Of which she couldn't find.
In a way, she was hopeful but then realized it was too much.
That's when she decided to stop the journey.
She chose to stay somewhere in the sky
With that, she shines so bright that her light could be seen anywhere, everywhere.
And that was all the world needed.
Frank. Thrown into the sea.
A big ship had arrived in the Ifriqian sea.
When we saw it, we didn't know why it was coming.
As I reflected, I could look at
Different scenes of myself.
As if the ship was a sign from the ethernal seas
Coming to fill my inner self with the blue sea water.
After all, we didn’t know if this was an enemy ship
Or if it was one of our many vassals spread throughout the coast.
We observed the ship for nights.
At the top of the tower,
The nights became days.
The days become months.
Suddenly we couldn't understand why it wasn't getting any closer than what we initially thought.
But as the months passed by,
The ship didn't come and we still don't know why it's there.
Whenever we go to the tower, we can always see the ship in the horizon.
Some attempted to sail to find it out and
Since then they didn't come back.
Last time it was a group of normands.
We haven't heard from them after that.
And they suddenly disappeared too.
One day a wise man called Frank came to say that the ship was lost in time and space.
He told things nobody could believe.
And we didn't know if they were true or not,
Until he suddenly disappeared too.
Some say he went to search the ship.
Others say he was thrown way into the sea to be eaten by creatures.
A few poems on the beautiful Ifriqiyan lands.
The Harvest Season
We are ruins of the past.
Fighting for space in the middle of an arena
Where the lions are ready to become fish and the elephants
Are prepared to act like jaguars.
The awaited preparation comes with the end in mind.
As the light comes from the east and
The loud voices come from the west,
The arena sinks and smells like the purple sea.
And the humans inside of it shrink away from the scene.
They feel an iceberg of emotions melting in and outside of them.
When they touch it to taste the water, it’s not drinkable anymore.
The plague takes control over everything.
Without the water, that’s when they can no longer
Alleviate in the middle of the deserts.
Knowing that the meaning behind that is not us
But the world outside of us.
And they realized that the water
Was the source of that illusion.
Until the last drop of it
Revelead the truth.
