Mostafa Ibraheim Poet I do not know?

Love Isn'T

I know I'm awake
I know how to open my eyes
But i don't know why i can't see

I feel time moves on
I hear the clock ticking
But I never felt time stops

I've seen the burning sun
stung by the burning cold
But never faced a tornado

Touched many colors
never seen a rainbow

seen the Nile
crossed the seas
But never been under a waterfall

Read the book many times
never turned over the page

Walked in many directions
never tried falling down

Never had to think of what I didn't
Never tried to change what I wasn't

Now you know all the symptoms
Now you know what love ISN'T.

David De La Croes May 10, 2013 at 7:26 AM So many things are hidden which can only be discovered through love. You present cleverly what could happen when one lacks the courage to love. Welcome, Mostafa! David
