I'm like you, EY NIGHT
crowd
you make me weep your stars
I am the others in me.
and the more you come down on me.
but my self darkens
maybe my uniqueness will make sense
I am like you, O SKY
no more, no less, mine is only uniqueness
sometimes a spark, sometimes a drop
that's all I am in my lonely kingdom
as the stars fall into my palms
and the others, you keep them to yourself.
save the slightly dimmer one for me
it shines only in me
I'm like you, EY STAR
far away
meeting the stars like night
I've searched and failed to find my soul mate
when you become a bride and enchant the night
while the other stars dance with happiness
As I slip into your heart like a dim star
I am like you, O SUN
one and only one fire
my wisdom in giving birth to virtues
my nothingness longing for a sacred eternity
while my division multiplies by scattering stars
my other uniqueness to confuse you
the sun never tires of rising, the other in me never tires of setting...
I'm like you, O SEA
my blue freedom
my self stretches out with a thirst for fire
my spotlessness is the mirror of the others in me
I've released what's in my heart into the deepest part of me.
and he's been deceived by my vast expanse
perhaps purify and sanctify, my ascension and departure
as the stars dance and pour down on me
I've fallen like a lunatic to the moon's gliding away...
I'm like you, EY WIND
crazy
while I'm burning the fire that comes with your smile
drags my other body turned into a ghazal
as I hurl my shadow madly away
it scatters, it grows, it grows my garden of paradise...
I am like you, EARTH
pregnant
this heart as fertile as the earth reaching for the sun
buried many dead, all of them a red poppy
the sunrise, the wind blowing
will re-grow my garden of paradise
I like to get lost too.
my womanhood gives birth to other men who write poems...
I could not be like you, O moon
neither far nor near
neither full nor half
I couldn't be the full moon and close the night
I couldn't be a crescent moon and catch the star
maybe he hasn't found his soul mate
a lonely stone torn from you
in reality I've become just a stone
oh my soul, go my soul... let you go too..
before the time of my repentance
my raison d'être as I turn to stone
the moon smiles rebelliously, as my soul rises
I'm left with my cold, cold tombstone
woe is my lonely, lonely head
my soul is no longer sensed, my radiance invisible
even if I am now my tombstone
as the tears flow from my eyes
I couldn't be like you, like you
I admire your smile as you come and go
O AY, O other half,
YOU DANCE AND SMILE WITH THE SPIRIT OF LIFE... IT'S ME...
HE IS ME...
HE IS ME...
....
