Madness Unclassified...

And then she asked, "oh why oh why
From my life you can't just be through?
Ovr'ly stubborn, insane you ain't
And who I am, you never knew;
This is not love, not even hate
With reason I could find no clue...
What good it did to your own life
It seems you don't know what you do
So, go back to from where you came
For I won't even talk to you"...

...And my naive vagrant unleashed
Searching for the whitest lilies
And he roamed and he roamed
For the moon for your seas
Through the venuses of heaven
Like the mars from abyss
Until finally returned home
Bearing my phantom of melancholy...
Then from my once peering diaries
Fell a lonely iris
My tongue still numbed of the tulip kisses,
When my rose meant nothing...
And my rose meant nothing...

ForI was surprised to see you by a mosque
Raising hopeful wrist on white salwar
And I danced, like the king
Of butterflies
Beneath your throne of infinite
And I smiled,
And I cried,
And I fell,
And I died...
Ever felt me, my beautiful?
The sun that nightly shone
Still whispered your name
And I peered across my lost January moon
That hovered over an april grave...
To the lip of my yes-like face
I found no tongue
To the shriek of my no-like face
I found no word
And thus I remained, silent,
From my first bone of eternity
Until the last skull of God
For my God meant nothing...
And my God means nothing...

Beloved,
I am not of a prophet
To verse you the Books
And I am not of a poet
To praise you the cliches...
A wanderer I am
Wondrously strayed
Across myriad miles of misty minarets
Until you shelter me as your lover
And my rebellious luggage
Is stuffed with emerald myths
That await you, the queen for my sapphires
Crowned upon my amethyst madness;
For your highness,
I know not what else to do,
While raising my faithful sleeves
I could only wish for you,
For I mean nothing...
And I mean nothing...
