Yahia Lababidi

Yahia Lababidi
Aphorisms
♥ ♠ ♦ ♣


1. The thoughts we choose to act upon define us to others,
the ones we do not define us to ourselves.

2. Impulses we attempt to strangle only develop stronger muscles.

3. History does not repeat itself, human nature does.

4. The small spirit is quick to misperceive an insult,
the large spirit is slow to receive a compliment.

5. However jeweled the mind, we also think through its defects.

6. Time heals old wounds only because there are new wounds to attend to.

7. A good listener helps us overhear ourselves.

8. Envious of natural disasters, men create their own.

9. The personal made universal is art’s truth.

10. Different faiths are different dialects of the same Language.

11. Spirituality occurs at the boiling point of religion, where dogma evaporates.

12. Miracles are proud creatures; they will not reveal themselves to those who do not Believe.

13. Intuition: generous deposits made to our account by an unknown benefactor.

14. To speak of spiritual intimations is a kind of kiss-and-tell.

15. To give birth to a God the self must die in the delivery room.

16. Pleasure may be snatched from life’s clenched fists, not joy.

17. In life, as in love, graceful leave-taking is the epitome of gratitude.

18. Take two opposites, connect the dots, and you have a straight line.

19. We are no more related to our past selves than we are to our future selves.

20. Temptation: seeds we are forbidden to water, that are showered with rain.

21. The power of ideals is such that they may be transmitted even by those who do not live by them.

22. Idealist: lawyer who cannot hear his client, Life, confessing her guilt.

23. To be treated with mercy, some of us must reveal our handicaps,
others must conceal theirs.

24. Like cars in amusement parks, our direction is often determined through collisions.

25. To hurry pain is to leave a classroom still in session.
To prolong pain is to miss the next lesson.

26. Our metaphysical eyes are expert at collapsing distances
–through the apparent to the infinite.

27. Truth can be like a large, bothersome fly - brush it away and it returns buzzing.

28. It is wise to know oneself, if only to add to the sum of human knowledge.

29. With enigmatic clarity, Life gives us a different answer each time we ask her
the same question.

30. Only after we have mastered a thing are we beyond it: such as culture, technique ... even words.

31. Things are at their most comfortable, before they collapse – be they armchairs or relationships.

32. It can be just as difficult to catch a whiff of our own anguish as it is to detect our bad breath.

33. Eye contact: how souls catch fire.

AMBIGUITY
Just wanted to dangle a bit over the edge,
then come back to reality.
What the hell ever that means.
Well, I have come back,
somewhere—looking for—something
that reality still elusive, out of reach.
Dangled a bit too long over the edge,
Fell off into space.
All spaced out for a while,
gradually climbed back up.
It’s not easy out there;
it’s not easy up here.
Dangled a bit too long over the edge.
Keep falling off; no fear anymore.
Still not easy coming back,
Still don’t know what I want here.
Looking for that certain reality,
what the hell ever that means.
I live now on the edge,
dual personalities—my heart out there.
Part of me wants that certain reality,
all those shoulds.
Part of me wants to follow my heart
over the edge.
It’s those inbetweens bothering me.
Can’t stop searching for that certain reality,
uncertain as it might be.
Still can’t stop going over the edge
occasionally.
By James Brandenburg


BRANDENBURG
I am
a fortress of fire
passion in my bones
bleeds into my being
and transcends
moment by moment
so hot sometimes
it melts iron.
I am
a fortress of fire
my smoke ascends
above a solitary mountain
in Prussia
for 800 years.
It is
my heritage
that flames
my poetry
today.
By James Brandenburg
Brand = fire
Burg = fortress


FEEDING THE PIGEONS (Madrid)
Every morning
the old woman’s dog
romps in the park,
while from her bag
she feeds the pigeons
a daily ritual
from one with barely enough
to buy the seeds,
but a deed in which coos
wash her spirit clean.
Morning dew
awakens in the shadows
of ash and pines,
a place for reflection
curbed only by broken bottles
along the path,
by newspaper pages
dispersed on benches
in different angles
at the wind’s discretion,
remnants of misery
that survived the night
and too much drink
of one gone searching
for a better day
as I return full circle
to where cooing pigeons
mirror the charity
of the old woman
who bequeaths me
tranquility for courage
under the rising sun.
By James Brandenburg


Somewhere Between
Somewhere between
midnight and morning
she emerges
outside my open window
whispers between leaves
touching
as they fall
then mists
into night’s silky silence
Somewhere between
dewfall and daybreak
she slides
into the shadows;
when
I awaken
I look for her
behind the wind
Somewhere between
the hollows
and my ribs
I feel her echo
spiraling upward
it pulsates
slows
a breath away
from light
The essence
of Wordsworth’s
Phantom of Delight
a flight of fantasy
in the night
and when I pour forth
my inner mysteries
she circles in my light’s
shadows
somewhere between
the songs
from my heart
and silence.

Voices de la Luna

Hope an Oil Painting by Ulrike Rowe

Voices de la Luna
A Quarterly Poetry & Arts Magazine

Tuesday 15 June 2010
Volume 2, Number 4

A Letter from the Editors
Mo H Saidi and James Brandenburg

The editors of Voices de la Luna believe poetry heals and the arts advance our quality of life. Therefore we have encouraged youth and adults keen on writing poetry to release their untold feelings and emotions in this form of literary art. As Sandra Cisneros said in a recent interview to be published in the 15 June issue of Voices, “I enjoy writing poetry. When I am about to tackle the characters facing emotional and social issues, I write fiction. To debate social issues, I write essays, but poetry is more of a personal matter for me. I sit behind my desk, release my feelings and emotions, and write poems.”
Now we are reaching out to new audiences. We have gone to the Lighthouse for the Blind and interviewed some of their dedicated and proud blind workers, such as Ernie Arce, a 22 year old who works as a general assembler. We have visited homeless people under the Commerce Street Bridge near the Bexar County Detention Center, including a 25 years old pregnant woman. We have conducted a workshop for youth and senior citizens at Bihl Haus on Fredericksburg Avenue, where we highlighted the healing effects of poetry and the relationship between medicine & art. We continue to experience that poetry and arts bring soothing and encouraging results, even among underprivileged and deprived people and among those with disabilities and emotional problems.
The therapeutic effects of poetry, painting, and music are especially valuable after devastating events, such as natural disasters and wars. Writing poetry about their grievances, by expressing their grief in letters, and by composing music, helps people purge themselves of pain and suffering and thereby transport painful events from the present into memories of the past. To write an elegy about the loss of a dear one, the poet immortalizes that person, and the memory of that person acquires beauty and sweet love. As Dylan Thomas says in his most popular poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night.”
We believe poetry and arts are undying elements of life, and by advocating these aspects and characteristics of the human soul, Voices de la Luna is serving an important role in the community. Even in the gravest of times, we celebrate poetry and arts in San Antonio and Texas as a way of eternalizing our human values.

Lorin Ford: Notes from the Gean

Biography

Lorin Ford writes haiku and longer poems from her tumbling-down C19 worker's cottage home in Brunswick, Victoria [Australia]. Much of Lorin's early childhood was spent on the foreshore and beach of a Melbourne bay-side suburb. From age nine she lived with her father, who ran the pub in a small East Gippsland timber town. She left school early, at fourteen, preferring a 'glamorous' career in hairdressing to her year 9 correspondence lessons. Later, she received an Honours degree in English Literature and a Dip. Ed. and subsequently taught high school English and ESL. She has remained an eternal student, enjoying her discovery of new aspects of the world, and of poetry, especially.

Lorin's haiku have been widely published in Australian and overseas journals and anthologies. Her credits include first prize in the 6th and 7th paper wasp Jack Stamm awards, in 2005 and 2006, first prize in the Shiki Salon Annual Haiku Awards 2005 - free format category, Winner - The Haiku Calendar Competition 2010 and first prize - contemporary category, THF's 'Haiku Now! 2010 Contest'. Her first haiku collection, a wattle seedpod, was awarded first place in the Haiku Society of America Mildred Kanterman Memorial Merit Book Awards, 2009.

Three Lights Gallery published what light there is, an online collection of thirty of Lorin’s haiku, in 2009. More information may be found in her responses to Curtis Dunlap’s Three Questions at Blogging Along Tobacco Road.

dry laundry-
the fish-pattern towel
still damp

hot evening -
his breath
the only breeze

a ladybug
on my red blouse --
almost invisible

wild wind -
my palms too small
to hold the falling leaves

braking the bus
brings me closer
to a stranger

wet street -
careful steps
over lit windows

church stairs --
in the bottle of a beggar
morning light

after the quarrel
the sound of rain fills
the emptiness between us

autumn forest --
step by step
whisper by whisper
