If Love Gets Aged In You
By
Gulala Nouri
If you wake up one day …
and you are intending to pass your hand on my features,
then decline for some unknown reason,
I hope you will record that in my head..
If you see a rose in your way
And that does not remind you of me at first glance
I hope you come empty handed and record in our garden the absence of a rose
If you walk lonely at sea and you are happy
while I am at home processing salt
do not come with a boat to roll over the lack of wet
and record in our space an absence of seagulls
If I told you about the last nightmare night
and you commented: “Please forget Iraq”
I’ll think long before stamping a new permit
on the border of my heart….
If you start to move my picture on your desk
Once to the left and then to the right
tell me to change my picture to know that
I am not reflecting in your new day
If the pretty woman says” You are handsome”
You only settled a smile and thank
not as you usually say “Because I am with her” that
will be the first absence of shared dance in us
If my hat falls in the snow
and you don’t run behind
But you asked the wind to change direction
that will be the first cold between us …
If you looked at my eyes
And they did not recognize you
You should know that is the beginning of absence …
If you called before midnight
and you get this reply “The number is switched off or out of coverage”
you should know that I realized the advanced age of your love
And also that I sleep early, so deeply and early.
