Be light

Be light

When morning kisses

The night

Be light

When the moon dwells

In our dreams' painfully-tender delight

Light when death's white barge draws near

Light when the moment of lightness is dear

Light when my smiling heart like a child

Plays in your hair's singing river of flames

That scorches my hands with its lust's scent sweet

And wild

For love is light as death

Light as the breeze of the Beloved's hot breath

Searching for you and finding you

Moist with the pearls of the rain

My love shall bear no chain

Be light

For only lightness resists

The temptation of shame

And the mists

Of half-discovered truths

And half-forsaken quests

O heart that never rests

With the eager fire of youths

Transcending the two Easts and two Wests

Fana'a's sacred falcon descends from your wrists

 

02.12.04

With greetings from the other shore to Mrs. Lazar who appreciates rhymes in poetry.

(I don't love you but you will be in my heart forever.)

Your work is so beautifully constructed. To say you are masterful in your craft, I mean it in the highest sense of the word, and if I could come up with better expression for my applause of your work, then I would use it. Your poetry is touching and fluid. I look forward to reading more of it.

I love this line, Mahdi:

Be light
For only lightness resists
The temptation of shame

The truth of it lights up my world.

Hugs,
Mari
