“كانت خلاصةُ أحلامِهِ أن يصيدَ القَمَرْ
ويودعَهُ قفصًا من ندًى وشذًى وزَهَرْ
وكان يقضِّي المساءَ يحوك الشباكَ ويَحْلُمْ
يوسّدُهُ عُشُبٌ باردٌ عند نبع مغمغِمْ
ويسْهَرُ يرمُقُ وادي المساء ووجْهَ القَمَرْ
وقد عكستْهُ مياهُ غديرٍ بَرُودٍ عَطِرْ

شجرة القمر)”
― نازك الملائكة

“لنفترق الآن ما دام في مقلتينا بريق

وما دام في قعر كأسي وكأسك بعض الرحيق

فعمّا قليل يطلّ الصباح ويخبو القمر

ونلمح في الضوء ما رسمته أكفّ الضجر

على جبهتينا

وفي شفتينا

وندرك أن الشعور الرقيق

مضى ساخرا وطواه القدر

***

لنفترق الآن , ما زال في شفتينا نغم

تكّبر أن يكشف السر فاختار صمت العدم

وما زال في قطرات الندى شفة تتغنّى

وما زال وجهك مثل الظلام له ألف معنى

كسته الظلال

جمال المحال

وقد يعتريه جمود الصّنم

إذا رفع الليل كفيّه عنّا

***

لنفترق الآن , أسمع صوتا وراء النخيل

رهيبا أجشّ الرنين يذكّرني بالرحيل

وأشعر كفّيك ترتعشان كأنّك تخفي

شعورك مثلي وتحبس صرخة حزن وخوف .

لم الإرتجاف؟

وفيم نخاف؟

ألسنا سندرك عمّا قليل

بأن الغرام غمامة صيف

***

لنفترق الآن , كالغرباء , وننسى الشّعور

وفي الغد يشرق دهر جديد وتمضي عصور

وفيم التذكّر؟ هل كان غير رؤى عابره

أطافت هنا برفيقين في ساعة غابره؟

وغير مساء

طواه الفناء

وأبقى صداه وبعض سطور

من الشعر في شفتي شاعره؟

***

لنفترق الآن, أشعر بالبرد والخوف, دعنا

نغادر هذا المكان ونرجع من حيث جئنا

غريبين نسحب عبء ادّكاراتنا الباهته

وحيدين نحمل أصداء قصتنا المائته

لبعض القبور

وراء العصور

هنالك لا يعرف الدهر عنّا

سوى لون أعيننا الصامته”
― نازك الملائكة
