Two Poems by Iris Calif

The Daughter of the Living

God creates the heavens

of the spirit in the light of the world

Springs with the authentic names of life

You are my strength

In my image the moon;

Man’s salvation.

Behold, I am the Iris; the daughter of the living

naked in sight of the sick of the kingdom of above

Adorned with gold and drops of moon light.

The sun in the clouds, and the rays wanders

My body like the burning of the darkness

Of Arch,

The night is heart breaking from time to time,

Embroiders in the mountains to the Iris grace,

And at the gate of the earth, Gabriel.

The temple house of the dead,

was founded in me

and the snowy days of the blood

of my soul.

Kneels in the light of the prophets

Down touches a human-

Blooded kiss,

And in the image of the soul of God,

Our father in heaven,

In the beginning of the wilderness.

Temple of the scriptures of the world

In the voice of psalms, creator of the human

EVE

Daughter of love, daughter of God

A girl of life.

The Desert Bride

 

In the calm prayer of your rains, simulates virtue of love

Observe In God's garment to my body

 I Clear silence The wind,

The darkness carrying love

Desire raising my dream 

 

And the summer candle is lit by a holy life

Reigns in the crown of winter Writings of my soul

The evening creates my passion that gives birth to existence

The night is heavily breathing of the sand in the pasture of the world

And in the knowledge of heaven, I am the bride of the desert
