LOVE MELODY is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

Four Love Scenes


Scene One:


As much as you laughed,

Half the laughter fell to the ground

Oh, laughter that can't be heard

Repel the pain from my lips

Black as hatred

**

Scene Two:


-1-

She appeared...

And I wish she hadn't!

She stole all the love

And left nothing

My heart is wounded... 

Forgive me my heart!

-2-

I muttered: 

What do I want with her?

I shouldn't have spoken to her

Nor even seen her in my sleep

If you take care of her

And water her like a flower

She shines like a star

It's hard to extinguish her!

** 

Scene Three:


One night, 

A night of sleeplessness

She stole away from her family

And they had no idea

And by chance, the moon appeared

She was startled... 

She walked slowly

And muttered, annoyed:

Why are you appearing, moon?!

**

Scene Four:


I will keep loving you 

Until the colour fades

And the eyes of all humanity dim

And nothing will remain 

But you and me in this universe

We will create humanity... 

To worship God!
