Surprise Me!

Ahmad Shiddiqi - A Rhyme of A Mariner

2014-11-08 0 Dailymotion

O bluish heaven!
where I put my love
when you waves
my fragile fate

O yellowish horizon!
where I put my legs
when you smashes
my anguished dream

O whiter water!
sail me away
to humble palm
on vivid island

O softer wind!
fly me away
to calm cloud
on secret stream

O funny penguin!
go to your nest
I really need
your advice

O flashy dolphin!
go to your palace
I really follow
your vow

some pearls
wait for beginners
in turbulent time
I never let you die

some diamonds
need to be explored
on cracking deck
I never leave you

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Anthony Foster)
