Pashang Salehi Poet Ghazal

Divine Wine

Divine wine…

Pleasantness is within me, I need more of that wine.
  What a night I hope it be, I need more of that wine.
You are me and I'm you, till my last day loving you. 
  I am us and you are we, I need more of that wine.
Like a candle in my night, break the darkness from my sight,
  Shine at me until I see, I need more of that wine.
I’ll rub my lips to your lips; my pain will be all gone, 
  Let’s break our cage, and go free; I need more of that wine.
Blissfulness is around us; seek it from within you,
  Come and find the hidden key, I need more of that wine.
Wingless flying is unwise, sit down, watch the sunrise.
  Laughing crying grief and glee, I need more of that wine.
You left a trail for "Haloo", he found you with no clue.
  He knows the way and told me, I need more of that wine.
