Ilhem issaoui
 
Mine amaranth
 
 
meadows
dewdrops on leaves
fluttering fledglings
 
 
art all an echo of my
adamantine longing
 
 
the shadowy deciduous trees
the fallen leaves
 
 
during the indian summer
such is mine melancholy
and my mundane amarulent life
 
 
mine amaranth ,albeit the despair
I am clad in
that renders me hapless
like a moribund
 
 
I still believe I shall ,
among dispersed nenuphars ,
catch a glimpse of you
catch a glimpse of you
