The Water Turns Deep Red

July 21, 2022

The Water Turns Deep Red We wonder to become spreader of smiles on people’s faces, the whole world is an unjust critic to do well to others, no one can run away from the clutches of the world ; don’t put yourself into pain and sufferings for nothing. Listen to the melody of your good intention with love and kindness ; If you want to find out eternity, live in a society covered with white cotton, holding bigger than our bodies. When won’t let you stay, our survival is more important no one leaves, the fire bird of another breeze and the flowing winds soft through the sighing roses on beautiful lands, tears from the depth of some divine despair, rise in the heart and gather to the eyes. Strange as in dark summer dawns the earliest pipe of half- awakened birds to dying to ears, when we full out with those we love, and kiss again with tears, what pleasure lives in height, no cares to walk with death and morning on the sliver horns. Let the wild lean headed Eagles yelp a lone and leave the monstrous, wreaths of dangling water smoke, the moon of dove’s immemorial elms.

Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker

Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker Abdalla (“Shakespeare”) Born on 9 March 1986 in the heart of Khartoum, Sudan, Yousif Ibrahim Abubaker Abdalla is a man shaped by language, resilience, and story. A graduate of the University of Juba, School of Arts and Humanities, Department of English Language, he chose words as both profession and destiny. Affectionately called “Shakespeare,” Yousif lives between rhythm and reason — between grammar and grace. He is a TEFL teacher, IELTS and TOEFL preparation trainer, author, journalist, activist, and freelance interpreter and translator. But beyond titles, he is a bridge: carrying meaning from Arabic into English, from silence into voice, from uncertainty into clarity. For over a decade, he has led debates in English institutes and academies, guided conversations across cultures, and helped learners shape their confidence in British English pronunciation and accent management. He works with precision on political, economic, legal, and technical texts, ensuring that language does not merely translate — it resonates. As a poet from beloved Sudan — a land of ancient history, generous hospitality, and unyielding spirit — his writing reflects life in all its shades: love and loss, socio-cultural identity, political reflection, friendship, pain, environmental consciousness, and the quiet heroism of survival. His poems and articles find their way to international readers through Sindh Courier, where his voice travels beyond borders. Yousif believes language is more than structure — it is a living system, a pulse that connects human beings across continents. As a non-native speaker who mastered English through dedication and discipline, he stands as proof that fluency is not inherited; it is earned. Teacher. Translator. Storyteller. A man who builds bridges with words and leaves echoes where silence once stood. Contact: [email protected]
