I will engrave my secrets on your body
and those testified to me by the sun, I will stamp
and those sung to me by the birds, I will paint
I will not behold the light as threads of darkness
I will only travel on the feathers of nightingales
No more tears turned to mist in the wind
no more sadness in the valleys of thought
no more souls lost in the feeble rime of sunrise
no more veins on iron screens…
For I come from rains and hurricanes
a fugitive from thirsty wells
disembarked from hypocritical lips
and I came to reap the fruits of our own love.
