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

Your absence is killing me

 

-1-

Why did the handkerchiefs fly away 

So quickly

And the caravan moved on?!

And your fingers peeked out

Into the air, grazing

And rested on my features

-2-

And the clock's hands pierced my heart

And the beats increased

And my eyes grew dim... 

And my condition is difficult

The tears are painful...

-3-

And the dust began to splatter 

On my face

Its colours and it walks...

It spreads the pain of tomorrow 

On my cheeks

And widens the bed...

-4-

No longer I have words to say

Words fail me

Your absence has killed me... 

Record its chapters

And have mercy on me!
