The Moon Poem

By Basheer al Selwi

****************

See the moon in the sky smiles to me,

but who knows, maybe he is in agony!

Since you left me, the moon appears every day to me,

who knows!? perhaps his beloved abandoned him!.

You have cut the only light in my heart, and left me alone,

but the moon gives me ray of hope, in the same time that you have gone.

Go whatever you desire to go,

and let me stay here smile to the beautiful moon.

You have never seen the happy moon,

smiles and dances over the clouds.

You have never heard the moon,

at the middle of night sing a song.

Song of love, song of happy mood,

song that no singer in the world can sing or composed.

You know that, I have to go,

due to the moon left the sky, and left me alone
