Oh pain leave me

In hope

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Oh rain come and search for me

Come near me and wet me

Don't play with my wounds and burn me

Let me be proud of the sweetness of meanings

Let me find my place in hope

Let me express my sorrows with my letters

Don't light the lanterns of sorrow in my being

Don't play and burn my conscience

Oh pain, forget my address

For I melted you in my secret

And occupied you with my delirium

Let the years decide for me

For the violin knows my melodies

Or let the pen be afraid of me

For I burned its wood with my fire

I tore apart a heart that loved my humiliation

So who do you think was satisfied with my sorrows

And disobeyed the owner of hope?

And I silence a lover in my anger

So his waves continued to create my flood

Ah, who played with my time

Sadness became my wish and my hope

Wetting my notebooks and filling my eyelids

And betraying and whispering in my being

And making him drink the poisons of my forgetfulness

Ah, from the sea that guided me

To the island of hopes

It did not break its promise

To whom did it silence my sorrows

And remained alone in front of me suffering from his depression

Ah, from the heart of the lover, did I have temptations?

To abandon desires

And avoid songs

And I went on the guidance of the Lord

In reciting my Quran

I no longer have a place

In which to hide my sorrows

And I was guided to the island of hopes

And asked it for a home that would warm my conscience

And grant me knowledge that surpasses meanings

Oh, pain, leave me

For I do not want you to arouse me
