VOICE FROM THE HEART




We shall write our intimate
Story on the strings of a harp
Where its sound
Shall tell the mysteries
Of our inner chambers
To the curious ears

I will clothe you
With the garment of passion
And clear your path
With living happiness

I will spread diamond grass
On your feet
Decorate your ankles
With Gold Coast rings
And light your room
With the galaxy of fire flies
On a scented lamp stand  

I will offer you
A golden chair
On a glass Earth to sit
So that it will reflects
Your unequal beauty
To the shining sun
And seduced its melting powers

The skies shall rain
Droplets of beads
To grace your rounded neck
And give you the aerial face
Of the celestial look of Earth

The melodious eagles shall
Sing your praises
On their beaks
“Oh thou daughter of honour
Who kings bow before
Thy shadow
And whose tears sink down
The Titanic and drowns
The pillars of Babylon
The queen of golden voice
Who tames the soaring
Anger of the wounded lion
On the Sahara desert
With her touch
Thou daughter of pride
Who fed on the venom
Of poisonous serpent”

Oh yes!
The craftsmen shall weave
Your image on stone tablets
Just as a painter will paint
Your beauty on his heart

The wind will fly
Your name above the
The deep clouds
For the stars to fall
From their sockets
I will wash they clothes
With the waters of dew
Gathered from the slanderous leaves
Of the withered mustard trees

I will sing you lullaby
From the mono nose
Of bamboo flute
And play you music
From the crying skin
Of an elephant
On the hollow
Oak tree before
The warrior from
The ancient palace of Timbuktu

Oh! Thou daughter
Of black mother
Together we shall tell
Our intimate stories
On the strings
Of a harp
