[KIMYA]
How patient is the moon
It takes its time
Slowly growing bright
To fill the night
Patience with small detail
Makes perfect larger work
Cyclical and gradual
For weeks becoming whole
I sit and ask the moon
Every night
To press its face to mine
And breath its light
To close the door to the past
And open windows new
The moon, alone, belongs to me
The rest, Shams, is for you
And yet Aladdin lingers here
Between us like the breeze
The kindness from the world I knеw
The eyes that strеngthened me
I see him walking down below
I see him look for me
Tonight the moon is kissing stars
My love do that for me
[SHAMS]
For my Rumi’s sake
I changed my life
Sacrificed my core
But what’s the price
To Kimya I bring sadness
Deny who she longs to be
Unsuited to domestic life
She could never want with me
Her heart, it isn’t mine
And time will tell
Whomever I may love
I oppress as well
If they accept, I submit
Like a jewel within their palm
And I grow bored with gentleness
With platitudes and calm
She is pure and blameless here
So young and so naïve
Not in love, we’re strung along
Just pawns to keep the peace
All these years I’ve journeyed
And all these things I’ve taught
Could never teach what I have learned
From what this time has brought
[KIMYA]
And now that we’re torn apart
I burn here like a candle
Stripped of the sun I turn to wax
Scorched, deprived of my essence
[SHAMS]
Trapped by this pain I cause
Just say and I’ll perform
The simple rights are for painless divorce
Make peace and I will find another home
[KIMYA]
My body falls apart
My soul is night
The weeks that pass, I gaze
And fall from sight
But I am free in spirit
I will not submit
I will not be oppressed
By you, nor any man
[SHAMS]
Is my death the answer?
Can this be fixed if I depart?
The sun and moon may always set
Yet linger in our hearts
[KIMYA]
Put those thoughts to sleep
Let them not cast a shadow
On the moon of your heart
Drown them in your love
[SHAMS & KIMYA]
True lovers look for faith
But they don’t see
With something the heart can’t learn
Why keep it there?
