Poem for M. NIDHAM
ReplyDeleteThe hidden eyes in flowers
seduce the gates of heaven
Birds pick up their scent
distribute them in the faraway trees
Umbrellas in the rain
are they and weightless perfumes
In the night fish glow
to light the oceans
They learned this trick
from desert sand and roses
They teach me also how to paint the horizon
with all the colours of the hidden heart
