Poems of Tuwa Noor
Nightmare
Your dreams very often turn into a nightmare
And the calculations end up in wrong answers.
As the moss fall from the wall in the arid and hostile environment
And stand alone in a deceitful stance,
The veil falls from the face of your idols.
Hands are dismembered,
The legs are dismembered,
And the body falls like a lifeless object.
People have their dreams that are adjacent to their hearts.
They dare to sacrifice their precious youth
And they sow the seeds of dreams carefully in the fertile land.
The rebellious peasants painted colorful paintings in each and every corner of the world,
In a spectral colors like Van Gogh.
Their declarations are clear and loud.
The vocal women make a storm of words in the yard of their house.
Your dreams are now confined in a coffin inside four walls.
Where will you find the absolute youth to break it?
The hideous body of exploitation falls down like a sand castle
Against the bold gestures of life.
Germination
Refuge the tender bud with ultimate care
Protect them from natural pests and microorganisms
Give them a secure land
Make a shield against the radioactive poison with your broad hands,
Turn a line on the lustrous lips with your glittering black stone-arms.
Primitive archetypes are hidden deep in the chest,
Cover it with care! Cover it with all your magnificence.
All forces of nature flourish rendering to their own rules
Brave new leaves come out break through the solid barrier of rock
Intermingled with the wind.
Holding the warmest love in the chest,
Drop of life develops and the petals spread the glimpse of life.
Give them a fair share in all the wealth like the light and air.
Remove all sorts of toxic fumes from all landscapes.
Let them evolve like all other forces of nature
And let them walk on the royal highway.
