Wild nights scream at me
And the wicked sun boasts of your love
Why beloved?
I travel to you every dawn
How the dusk makes me cry again to find you!
But I am a sufi devil, your mad mad creation
Till I drink your kindness from the hills
Innocence from the leaves
Rage from the holy books
I will not surrender myself back to you
In love, I smoke the cerise evenings
Bathe in naked water
Savour the silence of your smile
And die in your separation in every poem
Once I come back to you
We'll count the seeds of the pain cherries I ate
And rejoice at every such union we made
Let me feign deafness
While you whisper the way back home!
