Finding the stars

Close the heart

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

I looked at the stars flying with longing

So I told her sing about nearness and distance

She said: How can I sing about the closeness of the heart? So I told her sing about love as a support

She said: How can I sing about the distance of longing

So I told her sing about longing as a covenant

There the heart was attached to love

So the heart became a slave to longings

There were men of love in the past

And they were attached to Layla and Saad

I reached the sky of longing with the one I loved

And the stars align with me and I sacrifice

I reached the depths of love with the one I loved

So the madness of those who fought it was afflicted with effort

I reached the sky of passion with the one I loved

So I did not fear what a person fears alone

I am a troublemaker except..

I saw the love of my heart returned as a gift
