Herati Women Poets

 

With Paper and Pen

Last night my lips sought a murmur
S My heart wanted to break out into song
The most passionate melody
Desired to become song in the ear of my silence
A great spirit came out of the heart of the river
My brittle self sought harmony
I myself came from this figure’s narrow confines
I wanted to start a broad existence
A hidden force in my tongue
Could conjure rhymes
Many colourful words in the continent of my imagination
Opened their wings as if to fly
How happily I celebrated with paper and pen
Last night my lips sought a murmur
