Only Love Matters Now
by. Dr. Qais Ghanem
Wide oceans and long rivers separate me
From your bright and beautiful face
And I know not what lies in waiting
But I reminisce about the night we met
When we spoke in prose and poetry
Which sounded like music to our ears
Just looking at you was already my pleasure
Especially when we shared all those secrets
But then you were gone, like flowers leave a garden
And with my tears, I tried to water the garden, in vain
So tell me to fly to you like a bird, and I’ll do it
With pleasure, across all those oceans and rivers
For the only thing that matters to me is your love!
