THE WAY BACK

Your tender hands are on the calendar page

Happiness for the memory circle

Love as warm as a heart is your monument

For our journey at the double.

 

The love of Layla & Majnun was written in history

Heart beatings would work differently

Looking for and asking bring about joy

For the longing of union, and for our love.

 

I put my hands in your hands, my eyes looking at yours

Poetic words, worthy of promissory note

Your heaven smiles are reflected on your face

Increased morale works for our love.

 

A harmonious chemistry, an outstanding feature

The things kept in the brain, beyond comparison

Are the ages important? Young at heart

To be one in a million, for two of us.

 

All the vehicles head for their targets

The train embraces the railway station with its whistle

Flaxen hair rotates in ringlets

The way back is colonnaded for our summit.
