Love Poem Contest Winners 2002
First Place Winner ($25)
Massih Hayat, Herndon,
VA
"Spring"
by Massih Hayat
At
the window to spring the scents are waving
the boughs of thinking
flowing to an indefinite time
memories
brought by the wind telling another spring
Lucid
moments in the lights of trees
the kisses
of lovers are liquid suns covering a blank
sky
circles
of frenzy circles of ardour imploring the hours
One
moment my heart spoke transparent as an angel
she stood at the bus stop the strap
of my bag was a wide land
and my greeting
veiled her in a dress of forests and dust
