Four Moments
1
I wished I could kiss you between eyes
And lick the delicious nectar of the lips
But you said nonsense, nonsense
And called me silly idiot,
And totally by trivialities bewitched.
Asked me if I could ride the seas as your pirate did,
I am a Bedouin who knows nothing
But wandering the desert by the stars,
and the wind when to blow.

I guess that I were your lovely sparrow
Who sings on your sail
Or on your soft crystal palm
Do you think you really sing?
Never you only do crow,
Have you ever heard a raven sings?
----------------------------------------------

In your poem
I were just dry remnants
Your wind scattered all over, why?
And in the second, you would be
Mere an illusion or mirage.
You are not the pirate
Who'd come to abduct my blooming flower.
------------------------------------------------------

Bare are the trees
No leaves remained
for you to hide your being nude,
But my arms
Will you?!
