Flute of pain!

In the valley of astonishment
in the middle of a starry night
in a dark room
in the presence of a fading candle light
life sings
the song of love
and longing
with the music of a flute
where bodies catches flames
on the bed of desires
and poetry becomes a song
on the lovers' loving lips
in the city’s starry dreams.

A girl
shy
and hesitant
in the silence of her fingers
touches her lover's forehead
looking at the lines on his forehead.
Blazes with a feeling of curiosity
she takes his palm
the web of lines she observes
unclear
and dim
as the streets of her city
in the middle of a dark night.

Silence surrounds her
exhaling into the flute of pain
melting in the night
with the light of a long fading kiss
she takes a long sigh
curious to read
and know
which of the lines connect two bodies
on his palm
in a starry night
in a dim room.
