THE LIFE

A Dialogue with Life

By Ali Sadeek AhmedPublished about a year ago 1 min read

A Dialogue with Life

She flirted with me,

Approached,

With her beauty, she enchanted me,

With her charm, she captivated me.

I ponder,

How to escape the perils

When I have crossed the bounds of safety and wearied myself.

She flirted with me,

With her slender form,

Swaying in the seas of dance,

Igniting me.

Oh, my torment if she leaves me,

Thus, my soul spoke to me:

"Who are you, O creature,

Who has prepared to destroy me?"

No, and a thousand times no, you will not ruin me.

My longing for you is peace,

Bound by the safety of your love.

From you is the beginning, not from me."

She said,

"I am life, I am happiness, do not deprive me,

For life takes and teaches how to reap."

I said to her, "You are misery."

She replied, "Do not blame me.

All lovers, and none but them, are infatuated with my nature.

I am life; they live, rejoice without deceit.

As for the suffering you see,

That is my pleasure.

After suffering, you will wear the robe of happiness and longing,

And life will reveal its secrets to you,

And your poetry will say,

'She flirted with me.'

I am life.

If your love for life is complete,

You shall reap its love,

With neither misery nor deceit."

I am a song, a painted canvas,

And each person sees me through their own eyes.

Some see me as a poetic song,

While others scorn me and claim I am a temptation.

I am life for anyone seeking a kiss that grants a lifetime,

As time itself has written its promise.

I am life,

Love for the lovers

    A captivating dance between life and soul. Your words paint a vivid picture of the complexities of human existence. A profound exploration of love, loss, and the eternal search for meaning. The line 'I am life, I am happiness, do not deprive me' is particularly striking. It's a powerful reminder of the beauty and fragility of life.
