The Words

The Words


I’m a true lover
But still I fail.

The poem is finished
And I became its language.

Your smile blanked my face
And I forgot how to smile.

You feel I’m very arrogant
But I’m so humble to you.

I want to live in my heart 
And that should be you.

I read poetry in your music
And listen to the music in your poems.

I’m only the mirror
Of him who created me.

Those birds, those flowers, those animals
Can’t live without talking to me.


I want to be always drunk
For that I always meditate.

I want to become the emptiness
In that solitude.
And to become nothing in that condition.


I want to live eternally 
For that I’m travelling into that zone
Where death can’t approach.
