Confession Poem by Majed Dodeen

Confession
By: Majed Dodeen
***********************
It is my fate, my portion, my destiny as well as yours
Alas! You are neither mine nor I can be yours
All dreams surrounding us are merely illusions
The rain of your eyes,
Draws an alien anecdote on strangers
It shapes the sweetest words
It says that you are priceless and precious:
The dearest and loveliest to me,
The nearest and closest,
The kindest and gentlest,
The softest and tenderest
The prettiest and finest
The pearls pouring heavily from your lustrous eyes,
Make the lily flowers blossom so fast
Make the roses flourish at dawn and in the twilight
Unfortunately, I can't return as it is out of hand
I'll pass into a world of endless silence
A treeless desert full of sand
I will wait for you in eternity
Finally, I'll come back to embrace you in immortality
