Reading Moustafa Al Yassin’s poetry there were many times I was searching somewhere in my inner world for the music. I don’t mean lyrics, the music instruments or the band but the music that comes from the poem themselves. That’s the only way I can describe Moustafa’s poetry – I have the honour to call him friend so he will excuse my familiarity – his poetry is music of feelings, ideas and pictures.
Old and new loves are there, the thing that happened and the things that will happen are there. His poetry is like a tsunami that overwhelms you and makes you search for your own todays and tomorrows. And the best part is in the unfinished verses, the ones you want to fill with your own poems, your own experiences and your own feelings.
Moustafa Al Yassin’s poetry defies the excesses of modern poetry and like an acrobat balances between the Arabian nights and the northern light. But then again both identify him, a Syrian who lives in Finland. Almost schizophrenic. Almost surreal. Definitely poetic. And all that only in the title of one of his poems; “Nothing between me and here”
