The Poetics of Fire for Tamim bin Obay bin Muqbil
Abstract
Theme of Fire emerges in its poetics that penetrates veils and passes stagnation and silence to lighten the worlds of spirit and convey them to its metaphysics to reveal its torments in its sound and silence , its death and life and its adornment and deprivation via spirit and poetry to take its shape in a harmonious format which searches for its language in the existence alphabet . It is , in its persistence , unruly motive aspiring to infinities in which things are generated and burned . Thus, it is heat and light , light and flame in a persisting dialectic between birth , death , light and dark. It is , as a symbol of multiple references in the poetry of Ibn Muqbil , occupied a deep focus and achieved a special presence in his poetical space which leads it to be present absent and absent present . It is no longer fire to lead guests or fire of remains ..etc. , its references and poetics go beyond that to be a daydream , a symbol of departure , home of warmth and familiarity and a light of knowledge and insight. It has appeared in his poetry a symbol of sorrow by its scattered ashes and a symbol of secret love by its burning coal.
