Song of departure (Free verse) by kawakurdi
It scares me when the end of time
Tolls the bell of the call of separation
When a black shadow
Engulfs the last halo of your sight
I am scared of a time when like a loony
I look around in all directions
I look nearby, I look faraway
Except for the flame of a red sorrow
In the horizons, nothing I can detect.
I am scared of a time....
This time has come
The wind of departure has blown
Load your luggage
Wither the last bud of smile
Close your eyes with a sad heart
And say, Good bye, my love
I am far away, you are far away
The roads are closed.
Trees mourn their roots.
Hey, here is a henna party for your wedding!
Nay, it is the blood of dreams crimsoning horizons!
I am afraid of me, of people, of shadows,
Of the sun and the sea
Of pen and paper
Of desert, of nights, of fences
Of every whisper
Of every whisker
Taking the road of your roadlessness.
Every passing hour of the clock
Cuts down the green tree of my lifetime
Then I was a spring, I wish I were autumn
The sky's tears would refresh my mourning flower.
It is night now.
My lamp burns slowly, dimly
It is listening to the last sentence of your story
A new shoot suddenly springs up
This is the spring of your winter season.
