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 .
