What Shall I Give You As A Gift?
Salman Sharif Abbas

The feast is coming very soon, and I am not prepared And I am bewildered as what shall I give my lover as a present Shall I give her a flower, when she is a field? Shall I give her a poem, when she is a book of poetry? Shalll I giver the pulse of spirit when she is the heart?
So the feast is coming soon, and I am not prepared I will need to search the lovers safes,
And the pockets of time
For a gift that had not been given to anyone before For a gift that will not be given to anyone after.
I will ask the earth, what did it give to the moon I will ask the boat, what did it give to the sail, I will ask the sail, what did it give to the wind, I will ask the true believer, what did he give to the holiness, So I can give you more beautiful things than they gave.
