Fatima Nusairat Poet Free verse

You Talked To Me

You talked to me about the sea...
I thought I was your waves! 
You talked to me about the sky 
I thought I was your moon! 
You talked to me about the echo...
I thought I was your voice! 
You talked to me about the rose
I thought I was your perfume! 
And you talked to me about the distance 
I thought I was your longings! 
As you continued talking.. 
my heart couldn't help but overflow 
So I poured it freely into your glass 
Your sweet words were not meant for me 
I watched you casually pour out the glass

Richard Lamoureux January 13, 2014 at 2:28 PM I like the premise of this poem, especially the first 10 lines. Soup Mail. Fatima Nusairat January 13, 2014 at 7:17 PM No not at all I do appreciate what you did. Blessing Fatima Nusairat January 13, 2014 at 6:38 PM Hi dear Richard First of all I want to thank you for your nice comment. Secondly: I really appreciate any suggestions to improve my translation.. as you know I do translate my poems from Arabic to English, therefor some times may be I cant reach the exact meaning that I want to. Fatima Nusairat January 13, 2014 at 6:38 PM so please do not hesitate in any time to give me your opinion. And finally i will change the poem as your suggested because I love the change you made.
