Poem by Nizar Kabani - YOUR LOVE

Your love...

is a historical event in the universe,

a wedding of flowers and herbs,

divine revelation sent down, or not...

child born, or not...

blinding lightning, or not...

moonrise or not...

between the eyelashes of the black eye.

 

Your love...

is an ancient cuneiform text,

Phoenician,

Assyrian,

pharaonic,

Hindu,

it is a text not written in any book,

whether ancient or new.

 

Your love...

It is the time between war and peace.

and there is no fiercer war

than a war of nerves with you.

 

Your love...

it is a magical basement

with millions of gates,

how many times does one open...

the other one closes right there...

If I kissed your lips,

Honey flows from my lips,

and jujube

and if I ever flirt with you, my lady

My Bedouins are killing me...

 

Your love...

asks a thousand questions

which find no answer in any poem./ Alfapress.al
