That Is the Love I Wanted

That is the unbelievable love I wanted That is the unrequited love I wanted Amid thousands of pandemics or epidemics you did never leave me In heavy rain, drought, and volcanic eruptions even in strong earthquakes you were steadfast forever You never told anyone, Keep your mouth shut! Listen to me you arrogant! You never persuaded someone to become a poet Yet, in all countries of the world, in all languages there are millions of poems only on you Even in hundreds of ridicules or insults you did never leave me All the dirt of my mind and all false accusations, you are the one who wiped carefully though your clothes became torn and dirtier Yet you never ever said that you also had some needs Yet, in a dark poor cottage in the midst of fragmented light in your timid, sad watery eyes I could see the poorness of this world That is the unconditional love I wanted That is the mesmerizing love I wanted Every time one dies in this town, village, or anywhere else you have found yourself guilty But those who could but never care why someone dies in hunger, insomnia, or fear! who is actually responsible for a death? Still, I wanted to live innumerable times at your touch in the heart of this burnt country, I wanted to be born again and again just for you In any struggle, in any failure you did never leave me For every human being From you That is the unbelievable love I wanted That is the unrequited love I wanted!
