Eternal Torch [Two Eulogy Poems]

Eternal Torch (V1)

Poem II by Sidi Najee dedicated to Ricki (RhA) on the fourth month of her voyage to the afterworld!😢


In the days of madness

In the nights of sadness

Only your light shows the way


Light the path, oh Eternal Torch!


In the weeks of noise

In the months of mispoise 

Only your radiance makes us calm


Light the path, oh Eternal Torch!


In the seasons of embers

In the years of scorched timbers

Only your calmness bathes us in coolness


Light the path, oh Eternal Torch!


In the centuries past and

In the centuries to come

Only your spirit can shine a light, so


Light the path, oh Eternal Torch!


In the torch a jewel shines

In the torch a name is inscribed 

Only you and your name therein


Let it be known that only Ricki

Is my incessant Eternal Torch

That shines with love

That brims with hope

That glows with so ever happy thoughts!


RhA ya Ummal Baneeni wal Banat!😢


Eternal Torch (V2)

Poem I by Sidi Najee dedicated to Ricki (RhA) on the fourth month of her voyage to the afterworld!😢


Love is light

And, light never ceases to exist.


Love is sight

That never goes blind and shall always resist.


Love is a beat

And, it never fades away in the cacophony of life.


Love is a breath

That keeps us alive despite all the suffering and strife.


Your love, Sweety, is the Eternal Torch

That shall forever guide my heart and revive it henceforth!
