Sayeed Abubakar Poems

My heart cries for you,
You can't hear that cry.
My eyes wet with dew,
Before you see, it gets dry.
...

When dusk appears here,
It dawns in your country.
Night marches with snake's hood;
My heart and eyebrow tremble in fear.
...

Look, how like a python,
How like a ravenous whale
And how like the Bermuda Triangle
The hungry Fire gapes at us!
...

How fast our hair grows gray!
Before we say
Our evening prayer, the night falls,
Death calls.
...

I will love you, my bird,
Until you become tired,
Until you say in grief,
'Let me love you and sleep.'
...

Never love came to me so deep,
Never love came to me so high;
Now without you I cannot sleep,
Without your love now I do die
...

Walking across the broken heart of mine
When my love touched your eyes,
Your indifferent hair started flying
In the Spring-air like withered leaves
...

You want me,
I want you;
Moon wants Sea,
Grass wants dew.
...

We do not know where we live now.
No difference we see between man and cow,
And between Satan and angel.
We do not know if we are on earth or in hell.
...

I live with your heart now
And you with mine.
So my life's desert now
Beautiful, fine.
...
