My heart has failed me

Your complaint

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

I don't know who you are but I came to you

And I hoped to be satisfied with seeing you?

O you who left the soul in its complaint

Rise up, for the night has planned a matter for you and made you miserable

Rise up and read the Holy Book

Perhaps the Lord has guided you to it?

A beautiful poem from the words

Does the eye wander when it sees you?

Do not rush things

For I only sought your satisfaction?

O Lord, show me the face of the clouds

For who gave you rain?

And do not grieve for an age that has reached its end in you?

And do not rebel against the rhymes

From the poetry that has neglected you?

Rather, prepare yourself and search

For a ship that has docked at your anchorage?

For we have encountered from your complaint

What has imprisoned me in your hands?

O heart, leave life

And turn away from a fate that almost met you?

And do not grieve today

For sadness has clothed you?

And his pain slapped you then killed you

Wounded on the side of the road with your blood?

They said to me: Do not rush your judge's ruling

I said: If it weren't for you, O pain, I would not have learned

to be patient with your affliction?

So beware of me, for I am stronger

than anyone you have ever challenged in your tears?

I will not cry today so that your right hand does not choose me

I will not cry so that the heavens do not increase my pain

Rather, I will hold back a tear that once fell behind you

I do not know why I came to meet you?

You are the one who made my heart fall in your pain?
