This first post is a popular, relatively contemporary poem from a famous Syrian poet, Nizar Qabbani. Enjoy!
When I love
| |
I feel that I am the king of time
| |
I possess the earth and everything on it
| |
and ride into the sun upon my horse.
| |
***
| |
When I love
| |
I become liquid light
| |
invisible to the eye
| |
and the poems in my notebooks
| |
become fields of mimosa and poppy.
| |
***
| |
When I love
| |
the water gushes from my fingers
| |
grass grows on my tongue
| |
when I love
| |
I become time outside all time.
| |
***
| |
When I love a woman
| |
all the trees
| |
run barefoot toward me...
