بغض نجیب

بغض نجیب

* Anis

“Love” is a wage analogy,

incapable of explaining our feelings…

“Love” is an uninvited stranger,

sitting between us…

A third party,

which we wish to disappear from our sights,

at once…

A foreign body,

that is being rejected by our soul…


And when “Love” evaporates,

as a result of its own heat,

and when there is no more “Love” left to keep us apart,

they will find us merged in such a way…

that I shall be no longer I

and you will be no longer you…


and when “Love” leaves us alone

and when I am no longer I

and you are no longer you;

we shall be united as we did never before...


Then, I shall desire nothing but you…

Then, I shall demand nothing but you…

and nothing can be found in me but you…


So I live in anticipation of such time

when “Love” would leave us alone…

Such time that the warp of your love

and the woof of mine are burned to ashes...


Because “Love” is not but a veil between us…

Because “Love” is not but a fragile bubble,

waiting to crack…


And then, only you remain,

and I…

No...

And then, not even you remain,

neither I,

in the absence of a stranger;

called: “Love”


And when there is nothing left of you,

and when there is nothing left of me…

there would be no “Love” to keep us apart,

and no veil to deny our unity…


Let us, then, burn away the veil of “Love”

in its own blaze…

and be united for evermore…

thanks alot for such a lovely poem
it expands our emotions even more than love. It brings us to an unexplanable zone.
good luck
