Fragrant buds
The sun is preparing to sign off for the day
A heart of a lover is tortured by waiting
It is afraid of demise of light
And the fugue of meaning on the horizon Encumbered with patience.
I evoke her distant voice
The voice that resides in my memory
I travel in the depth of silence
With a boredom lays on the face of joy.
Soreness washes itself from sin
And the breath of antiquity sends its steps on the ground
And cling to the clay.
The wheel of time is running fast
The poem empties its verses and wet the dew
While rhyme stirps at the Nile River.
Jasmine embellishes the mouth of the evening fevered with the genius of the
character.
It spreads over the shade
And extends in the flank of space
She weaves a cloud from her twigs
And her breezes immerse in the fragrant buds.
Drowned in tears
Tomorrow we will sing a song
To dance my sorrows along
No family and no frontier
But the rays of love appear.
When night falls and dreams abstain
The breezes carry the scent of love
I wish I had wings to fly
To the distance nearby.
Filling me with hope and delusion
Live, burden and rain
When the clouds are about to pour
The sky turns into an open door.
We play with our flute
We sing to love rituals and joy
The music is so smart
As it goes, it touches my heart.
The flames of love burn our ribs
Before we reap the wind
It gets bigger in branches
The remaining of us would be ashes.
Love shined the way
Till the torment faded
We got tired and missed the cheers
When suddenly we drowned in tears.
No other woman
In my memory
I erased every woman I went through.
I have combined all the seasons into two sentences. I love you and love you
endlessly.
Wherever there was love
There was rain, there was a rainbow.
And there was the twilight and me.
Live in my love
Melt my lips and kiss me
Take my heart and take all of me.
I am like a mesmerized river of passions
That runs between your attendance and your absence.
No woman other than you would be
Trac passing in my thoughts and the space of time.
And if it wasn’t for you loving me
I would never have known love
I would only read it in poetry and in novels
I had a dream about it
And when we met, the dream came true.
So, between every pulse and another
There is a space in my heart
Waiting to be filled with your passion.
