As The Night Fell

As the Night Fell
July,,2005,Damascus
As the night fell. . .And its air mixed with his breath,He was already carried away. . .Full of desire, home to its painful bliss.And in the void,his words echoed. . . "I love her but I know her not. . .I make love to her But I never get to see her face. . .I sleep by her side But I never find her by me. . .at dawn.I kiss her neck so magicallyBut I wake to feel the cold windBlowing on my skin. . .not her lips.She is by my side and not by my side.She is here and not here.Where is she? . . .She lies in me.Who is she? . . . She is divine."The wind blew in hisr directionAnd in an instant. . .He was lost in touch. . .
