Soldiers of longing

I broke the mountain

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago β€’ 2 min read

I melted my sadness quickly, I removed the fear

I shook off the dust of woe in isolation

And my back is a groan that you can almost hear

The burdens of my soul that crushed the mountain

Oh people of my heart, I lightened it so it became

Heavier on me, I heavier with it

Do not make the sad heart a bag

It is not solid, nor stronger, nor a camel

Oh heart, do not carry painful burdens

For they will give you the loss of the soul and the slip

If you carry, say: Oh, lighten my load

I am tired, so how do I reach hope

And longing is the heaviest thing I have carried in longing

So will the brother of longing rest from what he has carried?

Longing tramples my heart and makes it feel

What the beloved hides after killing him

If you send the soldiers of longing to attack me

And I will not expel them if they enter.

I melted my sadness quickly, I removed the fear

I shook off the dust of woe in isolation

And my back is a groan that you can almost hear

The burdens of my soul that crushed the mountain

Oh people of my heart, I lightened it so it became

Heavier on me, I heavier with it

Do not make the sad heart a bag

It is not solid, nor stronger, nor a camel

Oh heart, do not carry painful burdens

For they will give you the loss of the soul and the slip

If you carry, say: Oh, lighten my load

I am tired, so how do I reach hope

And longing is the heaviest thing I have carried in longing

So will the brother of longing rest from what he has carried?

Longing tramples my heart and makes it feel

What the beloved hides after killing him

If I send the soldiers of longing to attack me

And I will not expel them if they enter.
