The Moon Boat Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Live to love like amorous mermaids,
Enjoy the tides in a full moon night,
It's your ocean; it's your passion,
You are yourself a Venus so bright.

So let the Venus be jealous of you,
I assure Venus will never make harms,
See the image of moon as a rescue boat,
Catch it if you can and open your arms.

So what if you're exposed a little,
And stars are starring at the hides,
So what if surf is kissing your all,
Be a little ecstatic in the lovely tides.

Don't destroy this life and this world
We'll love more when go to the heaven,
This world is a truth and before our eyes,
It's one only one and not six or seven.

May be, tomorrow on way to the office,
A suicide bomber takes off for the heaven,
Whether we'll survive or flush and blood,
On the road in pieces may be six or seven!

I assure this lovely vibrating moon boat,
Is safe and secured it's guarded by love,
Forget your religion, your color and race,
Board as a mermaid and fly like a dove!

Terror cannot cut this image of the moon
Dancing on the waves it will safely float,
It's a cradle; it's a swing, and a rose's bed,
It can fly as well; it's a silky moon boat!
