“ولو أننا نستعير الأيادي كالقبّعات،
لكنت استعرتُ يداً من يديك
لأكتب أجمل من شجرٍ في ربيع الكلامْ...
وأرفعها فوق جرح الثرى والحطامْ...
وأسكب حلماً حليباً على شفة الميّتين الصغار،
أهزّ سرير المقابرِ من تحت أطفالها كي تنامْ...
أمدّ يداً من يديك إلى جهة الورد،
إنّي أشمّ الحقيقة لا أقتفيها،
وإن الصباح يجمّع أنفاسه في صدور الأكمّ
أمدّ يداً كي تصير الأيادي سوراً
وتحتفل الأرض بالطيبين...
عليهم سلامُ يديك..
عليكِ السلامْ...”
― Mahdi Mansour

― Salil Jha, Naked Soul: The Erotic Love Poems

“Poetry is a love affair with a dusty notebook, filled with secrets I whisper to its leaves. It's a passionate fling, fueled by stolen moments and the flicker of a candle. Every verse, a love letter to the moonlit sky, hoping it captures a sliver of beauty before dawn steals it away.”
― Monika Ajay Kaul
