The Fire and the Lantern

The Fire and The lantern By :Nameq Abed Theeb Translated by :Laith Seher ----------------------------------------------- All the seasons are absorbed or exhausted , by the cloud who is being in love with the mountain . ----------------------------------- The blood of the poet is a carnation of the female. ------------------------- Don’t laugh at me , I am the ash. My father is the thunder, and my mother is the wood . ----------------------------- Her lips are blue, this girl kisses the sky . ------------------------- How much coal does this fire need so as to dance . How many flowers does this girls want to be wet. ----------------------------------- The fire is cold Ibrahim enters it . ----------------------------------- The female of the carnation closed the market , It is the complaint of a merchant Who didn’t sell anything . ----------------------------- The dance of the fire makes the lantern oozes the light . -------------------------------- "I am dancing so you are existed " . this is an excuse of the fire who is entangling the lantern .
