I named you Cain
The sky for your eyes...is smiling
And the birds are just for you.. singing
While me
I have grieve and silence
And the waiting for the rain
***
Your songs flow in my heart
And on the memory's platform... fires
break out in my head
I named you Cain
Then left Abel homeless
On the door of my misery
***
I think you mess with my thoughts
Your pigmental hand with my pains
chased my smoky thread
and on the Map of my dreams…you smile?
I named you Cain
Then my pure was assassinated
And a pride boasted on my face
then it shattered
tut for a memory.. does not contain except your name
it stops, , If I passed her
I named you Cain,
then the storm's pace has slowed
My features which I have lost in you
I still remember some of them
I still remember my face reflected..
on all the mirrors
I still remember my eyelids
At any disabled corner are hiding!
At any disabled corner are hiding!
I named you Cain.. then Abel died in my language
And my egos widowed

***
I addicted your face.. Your perfume
Lovers of longing in
Addicted sky which to your eyes smiling
I addicted a chess patch in my anger
But I forgot my face reflected in all the mirrors
I named you Cain until...
the murder doesn't die into me
So the murder doesn't die into me.
