Passionately Persian: Love Poem
For my nightly bawling
The pain that’s worn me out
for the want of seeing the light
that died when you left my home
for your dreamy eyes
and the crimson of your lips
I sing and cry out, again,
no, I can’t anymore
I’ve given up on the whole world
don’t want to live anymore
I want to once again
sit you on my lap
my voice beyond the clouds
I want to shout: Yes, I’m mad!
you kiss me and I
sing of the sorrow in your eyes
But since you’ve been gone,
I’m the dark sky
I’m the gypsy without land,
I’m the Autumn wind
Yeah, such is life
you said, but that’s an excuse [you said that’s life, but, that’s just an excuse for]
for your heart of stone,
who’s mad about it like me? [noone loves your heart of stone like I do]
