aswemovedawaywewereclose
as we get closer<———->a clift
we were a tale at one point between existence and nonexistence
we bloomed so many thorns out of season
without a twilight
we withered so many days at our heart
in how many moments we consumed ourselves
not to say how many
we shot the sun in the womb of earth
a total darkness was born
so much so
you cannot see your hand in front of your face
time/less
pains we planted started bearing fruit
a poison as you look at it
a poison as you dip into it
we used to be honey… we became poison hemlock
we were fooled we kept being fooled
we were burnt as the poison burnt
ah beloved!
as pulling the trigger of our heart, it’s demon who was charging
love threw up death
– accidentally –
though we returned to life as you<–> me were saying us
we died in love
al-fatehah…
/…we did not know, we could not… o beloved we should have known… love would kill accidentally… /
