Name Of Love Poem by Adeeb AlFateh

Love is not the name of wineless cup
Love is not the gracious lip kiss
Not the offerings to God
Or not the recitation of the scriptures

Love is not the name of God or goddess
Love is not the name of any sanctuary
Not the annual pilgrimage to holy place
Or not the doomsday of a life

Slaughter-house or the scaffold stage
Keen machete or self-made hanging rope
Poisoned thorns or the hemlock cup
Love is happy to enjoy self-sacrifice

The molecules of heart are divided into atoms
To survive in that existence is the name of love
