The Love of a Colorful Envelope

‎I will live without love forever

‎Without you, I am a water lotus in you

‎Like a bumblebee l won’t look for flowers

‎My addiction has evaporated since then

‎The thorns pricking the soles of my feet

‎The blood cells will not touch you

‎I will not say, embracing the body of expectation-

‎I am only yours.

‎I won’t say like a grasshopper touching the sky –

‎The sky above your head is mine

‎The mind will not fly like a kite along the path, like a bird

‎I will walk like a waterfall

‎However, I will not look for footprints

‎I will not search for a lifetime

‎The love of a colorful envelope

‎My mind is incorporeal like a butterfly.

‎In this city, the game of the heart is forbidden

‎Love is traded according to necessity

‎Anyone is sold as they please

‎Walking naked time north and south

‎The past hangs on the wall of distance

‎The stranger becomes familiar.

‎I won’t ask anyone to tell me

‎The juncture of love

‎I have torn my heart

‎With the sword of barren love

‎I have never forgotten

‎I love flowers.
