MY LOVE, I TRUST YOU

HEARTS
HEARTS
As evening approached our old window, It told me
that hearts were fingers of light, descending in the evening like an old
peasant with eyes of lapis lazuli.
It told me that the heart has two long braids, and
it goes out at dawn to his grandfather's precious orchard, which is very
similar to the picturesque gardens of Kashmir. There are pure faces that remind
me of my grandparents. Where hearts are white and bright like pearls. I wish
you had seen them covered in silk. I hope you saw the gentle rivers; they were
as tender as the hearts of the Basrans.
That quiet evening advised me to leave behind foggy
hearts, for a pure heart is a free bird that does not live in this dark world.
He spoke softly, and I listened. He told me that the heart is the brother of
the sun. It was strange and amazing news. So where are the hearts of our dear
ancestors? Where are their bright lights?

THE SAND CITY
THE SAND CITY
I am from
there, from the city of sand, a traveler in my heart is the sound of water. I
stumble in the seas of my life, only resting at every shore that sings
beautiful songs. I am just a memory that came to us from afar, telling us the
story of absence. The story of a city that still lives in dusty leaves, and
still looks strangely in the mirror. It always told me that aerosol is a
strange thing that gives us the illusion of reality, but when we go to sleep,
we see it clearly, and we face it face to face, and it tells us its cold
stories.
Don't you see
this city with its silver hands, holding our breath tight, creating a long line
of rocks that dream of faded roads? And this time, how pale and free it is,
flies away without return, it laughs mockingly at our bulging eyes. I am not very delusional, but I feel blind,
so you find me wandering around that city looking for every unique flower that
only the blind can see, and every time I find one, it says to me: Oh, Sand Man;
Sometimes to see clearly, you have to be blind. I hear her voice and see her
with my heart because I am a blind man.

SOMETHING OF DEATH
Something of Death
Oh days, oh
birds, wait, wait, for this is my heart still stumbling over the slopes, its
feet made of snow, and its eyes the remains of a copper voice searching for
something of death.
I searched for
a long time everywhere my fingers could reach, I searched for my gray color,
and I also searched for my hidden veins, but I did not find an image of myself.
Maybe I'm tainted to the point of
blindness. I must find my purity in order to see the image of the person I
know, who longs for a free death. I am really sorry now, because I was not able
to do that, because I know that life has a smile that cannot be seen except
through that beloved death.
I stand here
every day like a bird of distant islands. I stand as a stranger listening to
that voice; The voice of my heart. Yes, I am standing here waiting for my pure
soul to return; I wait for my life every day in the hope that I will die.

MELTING
Melting
I will write about love strongly, as
I am a universal abbreviation for a love whose place only new lovers know. They
are looking for me on the paths. It is strange how can they see me when I am a
planet of ice melted by the blind winds? Since then, I have been disappearing
in a river of tears.
All I'm good at is that I descend every day
from the sparkling springs into a foggy valley that knows no clarity. My
letters are unreadable, and my years are unimaginable. They are just a memory
from a time when the lights went out.
Everything here turns like a lost
wheel, and I am that strange tree, standing there with the crown of longing on
my head, looking towards the road, hoping for your arrival, even if it is a
cloud. I cry every day because of all this longing, I cry because I am lost in
your vast world. I'm crying so hard because I'm so happy by you.

MEETING AT ABSENCE
I will
wander the corners of the wheat in the wee hours of dawn, and then warm my boat
and my glowing islands and the shirt of the brown horizon for a joyful tomorrow. I will give you a song you have never heard
before. I carry it on my shoulder with the leftover bamboo.
When I met
you in your absence far away, and you sat me down on that white hill, I was so
amazed that I sailed strangely at your whisper. You are a cup blessed with
wisdom. You looked a lot like the pink turtle whose shell the children of my
village ate.
You told me
about the houses that the ancients built in their alleys. You told me that my
eyes are no longer shining.
Come near,
come near, I am those falling meteors in the courtyards of paradise. Come closer, come closer, hear my voice.
How I wish I could write my name in the absence
early because the day has become scary.
Wild love
I am a salty
memory, on whose brown wood a stork has nested. I know no sail or coast but
this wild love
Oh, wild
love, how you burst into the corners of my dreams and closed worlds. You drag
me into unbridled passion like a wild traveler lost among the bamboo trees.
It is a wild
love that grows here and there. And I'm a wild shadow that can't dream, I just
smile. My soul melts in its tales, stands there with this terrible feeling; touching
the skin of the water. It is irresistibly soft and charming.
Let me sail
to infinity. And I disappear into you happily in a wave that says it all. I
just want a moment between its raging waves that surround me with all the
sparkling drops that sit on the table of my eyelids, messing with the capitals
of my thinking, the seagulls that can guide me to nothing.
This is how my dream sings. So it
becomes a strangely trembling bed. I'm not good at pretending, but songs of joy
and euphoria that never leave the grass wet stir this love.
O beloved impulses, where did you get
all this purity from? And all this strange existence? The heart flooded my
shadow with its gentle pain, and this body of mine became a follower of a
captivating longing. When I look at your smiling face, overwhelmed with pride,
I remember the ancient stories of that sea.
Babylonian man
I loved the
sun because it reminds me of your warm soul. And I loved the evening because it
reminds me of your wet whispers. I love the brown color, because it reminds me
of your immortal hands. And
subconsciously I feel proud, when I see swarms of arrivals at your door asking
for some nectar, and you are the owner of the great secret.
It is amazing how much we have talked about
the fading of time and space, and here you are kneading them with your fingers,
so your board is infinity. You look down on us - O Babylonian - from the
balconies of your walls that shine with copper, and in your hands a cup of
Iraqi honey tea is like the eyes of an angel frolicking in the wilderness with
the antelopes of Enkidu. Yes, I know.
You want something wonderful, because you are the wise one who knows things and
knows the secrets. Your hands have conquered old age and death. Yeah, I know,
you look at us and smile, you (He who saw).
EYES
Since he saw her eyes, he has been sitting with the dreams of the lily and whispering with the love of the moon. There was no
sun, only wandering butterflies and flowers. One day he returned to her eyes, telling her
of a bright face that he cannot forget.
Oh, distant
eyes, send me a boat, and then I will be on the shore, waving my hands to great
love. Come, open the last lily that the sleepy wind has fallen in love with.
There it stands in the midst of a violet
pond, in the midst of a dreamy calm where water brushes the hair of light.
I wish you
could see those eyes, to tell you that the pond is a lush oasis, and that it
contains colorful souls and rainbows. To tell you that there is a lot of love
left by the Babylonians before they traveled towards the sun.
O sparkling eyes, O you who came down to us from the
mountains of light, O you who sit on the hill with captivating hymns: Behold
the tales of mermaids and hair fairies. What an endless charm! Your eyes and
their stories.
MASKS
My mother told me to climb the mountain, and when I
reached the halfway point, I found a beautiful man in a hut with ugly masks in
his hands. I told him why are you here? And what are these masks? He said: I
was expelled from your city by ugliness, and these masks I send to every
beautiful person there, so that they wear them, so they do not expel him from
it as they did with me.
SWEET BOAT
I am not a legendary traveler, but I
am a passenger who was taken by the wind, relentlessly and without tears, to a
shining coast. The trees there are dancing and the years are colorful, what a
splendor of summer!
Our boat is greeted by rosy hands
and sleepy voices. The morning has made her lips honey and sweet fruit. So this
boat became pink and sweet. We are not butterflies as you think, but we are
full of light, and all I'm good at then is singing huge chants.
All I remember is that I put my bag, my schedule, and my bright smile on those unforgettable, joyful coasts. And how can I forget with all that pleasure? Believe me, if I had the choice, I would choose this boat again. It's gratitude and celebration.

Infertile Seasons
It is not difficult for a person to descend from the sky, and it is not difficult for him to stand like an old tree waiting for joy and death. The sounds of the night thicken the arteries of man, so shame does not flow into his blood. Here I see the shadow multiplying in the place, bloodying the brow of the sublime light, so the galaxy is flooded with the gnostic.
Weapons
Behold, I live to see the new world, I am no longer a
child. In the palms of its sunset, every shroud bleeds with weapons. There - in
the dark - the cold gives its grandchildren lessons in igniting nature. There; all
winds are pale. Weapons suffocate my memory, storm the place, distributing
messages of eternal love to the hungry. There, pens don't want to write
anything, because beauty has fled outside the galaxy, looking for new lovers.
The world hides in an old bottle. Even the holidays, they no longer know the
new air. There is only smoke here.
I am
not surprised by all this great pain, for I have learned the sufficient
reasons; Weapons make camels a vehicle, and they have no choice but to hit the
sides of the road, causing the hearts to bleed. There; in these hearts; trees
will not find shade, but they are plump and red as they should be. Yes, you
know; the heart of the river is a city of ice, and a memory that ignites
thunder and clamor in our depths.
This
is how the streets shrank, floating in the sky of noise like patients trampled
by feet. Children breed in wells in search of an old legend. At that time I was
a child, and the past was a broad view that taught me to hide. My ears were
heavy like a mountain, and you did not find any nectar in them.
