Paradise. by Ahmad Al-Khatat



Before you, I was nothing but a sinner  
who wanted to be a bird’s feather  
to rest my journey by the gate of heaven

With you, I am a different man who  
will be a dove to fly out of the universe  
all the way inside the world of paradise



Ahmad Al-Khatat was born in Baghdad on May 8th. From Iraq, he came to Canada at the age of 10, the same age when he wrote his very first poem back in the year 2000. He also has been published in several press publications and anthologies all over the world and currently studies Political Sciences, at the Concordia University in Montreal. He has recently published his first chapbook “The Bleeding Heart Poet” with Alien Buddha Press. It is available for sale on Amazon. Most of his new and old poems are also available on his official page Bleeding Heart Poet on Facebook.
