[Khayr]

I have been tricked by flying too close

to what I thought I loved.

 

 

Now the candleflame is out, the wine spilled,

and the lovers have withdrawn

somewhere beyond my squinting.

 

The amount I thought I'd won, I've lost.

My prayers becomes bitter and all about blindness.

 

How wonderful it was to be for a while

with those who surrender.

 

Others only turn their faces on way,

then another, like pigeon in flight.

 

I have known pigeons who fly in a nowhere,

and birds that eat grainlessness,

 

and tailor who sew beautiful clothes

by tearing them to pieces.

[Khayr]

SINCE SEEING YOUR FACE

 

I swear, since seeing Your face,

 

the whole world is fraud and fantasy

 

The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf

 

or blossom. The distracted birds

 

can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.

 

 

 

A house of love with no limits,

 

a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,

 

a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.

[Paragon]
