The butterfly and the iron bars

Poem by Ali Taha Alnobani
By: Ali Taha Alnobani
© 2011 by THE BIRD

When I left my childhood there, near the colored stones and shining glasses

A nice butterfly came with me and a spider fell upon my dream

The butterfly flew over the wonderful fields while the spider built her black home in front of my eyes

I tried to follow my mosaic dream, but cobweb became iron bars

***

When your warm hand shocked me

I felt my strength

So, I tried to have a new chance

The road was foggy

But everything was moving

And the iron bar split me

I saw my face with tears on my butterfly wings

Yellow: glow of beginning

Red: my remarkable dream

Black: cobweb, bars, and killers

Blue: the vast ocean and my cell

***

I love you

What does that mean?

When the train takes it's way speedily

What can I do with the distance?

What can a sexy moment do with the big battle and a red river full of cries

***

Forgive me my butterfly

I stared Langley far away

The meta show was unlimited

I couldn’t keep my words

I stared at your nice colors until I lost my story

***

Now I'm here

My angel became a point in the narrow angles

Colors ended the festival when my strength appeared

With my tragedy

Can we have a new start?

Can we end the maze?

***

My city is like a mad volcano

Faces had the same canned smiles

And colors became very dry like a long disastrous day

The man with no face cried at me

"Who are you?"

I can't remember,

But a wide look across the triangle faces asked me to say something

I'm a mirror image of my butterfly

I'm digging for a true moment of warm touch and wild love

"who are you?" cried the man again

I'm the friend of beauty who lost his white idea

Who am I?

I can't remember

  2. Both the oceanic and continental crust are floating on top of the asthenosphere, the physical layer of the upper mantle in which convection currents of heat push and pull the individual segments of crust (known as plates) around. The crust is the thinnest of Earth's layers, comprising a tiny fraction of the planet's total mass. (MORE).

    In the aftermath the Belgian players were obliged to gather around the signage proclaiming their third baseball t shirts place victory, a little self consciously it should be said because this was a team that had greater aspirations for a bronze. Had they not beaten England in Kaliningrad in the final group game then perhaps it would have been Belgium contending the final against France on Sunday in Moscow. This World Cup beatles t shirt performance under Roberto Martinez has by no means embarrassed the country but it could have been better.
