NAY!

by Munir Mezyed   Jan 3, 2006


I love you,
Nay, I hate you
She let me leave for a dream,
A dream which turned out to be
My nightmare
Lost in its swamps,
I wandered,
Pursuing threads of smoke
No place could embrace my weariness,
But cold, dead emptiness
Sheltering my soul
Pale, cold and sad,
The Moon lost its brilliancy,
And night became long and heavy.
She planted me in her bosom,
Making me dream
And live in a different world.
I love you,
Nay, I hate you
Nay, I won't surrender to this madness,
This madness that drags me into you
I will erase from my memory
Your charming eyes,
Your lunar face,
Your fairy hair,
Your pearly breast
I love you,
Nay, I hate you
I'll cast out of my soul
Your voice and perfume,
Forget the lips
The lips that bathed me with fire and nectar,
And ask the nest of my hand
To let the sparrow of your breast leave
After all, will I be able to forget
And reconcile with my spirit.
Nay...!
