I came across a beautiful poem of Nizar Qabbani and i wanted to share it ((:

Letter from Under the Sea

If you are my friend...
Help me...to leave you
Or if you are my lover...
Help me...so I can be healed of you...

If I knew....
that the ocean is very deep... I would not have swam...
If I knew... how I would end, I would not have began
***
I desire you... so teach me not to desire
teach me... how to cut the roots of your love from the depths
teach me... how tears may die in the eyes
and love may commit suicide
***
If you are prophet,
Cleanse me from this spell
Deliver me from this atheism...
Your love is like atheism...so purify me from this atheism
***
If you are strong...
Rescue me from this ocean
For I don't know how to swim
The blue waves...in your eyes
drag me...to the depths
blue...
blue...
nothing but the color blue
and I have no experience
in love...and no boat...

***
If I am dear to you
then take my hand
For I am filled with desire...from my
head to my feet
***
I am breathing under water!
I am drowning...
drowning...
drowning...
