I have these eyes of mine to see your face;
\nI only have hands to seek your embrace.
\nToday I shall set my soul on the road
\nSo that tomorrow I can reach your place.<\/p>\n
Let me set my soul on the road today,
\nGrant me tomorrow whatever its worth.
\nDo not offer your paradise to me,
\nI have no wish to fly to Paradise.<\/p>\n
Who needs it, what use is Heaven to me?
\nMy heart’s eye would not even glance at it.
\nAll this sorrowful clamoring of mine
\nIs not for a garden up in the skies.<\/p>\n
You keep trying to use it to entice
\nThe faithful, but what you call Paradise
\nCannot boast of more than a few houris
\nAnd I don’t hanker after their caress.<\/p>\n
Offer it to those who go by the creed;
\nYou’re the one I crave, you’re the one I need.
\nMy leaving you would be a shameful deed
\nFor the sake of a mansion and trellis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
