I ADORE YOU written by: Diyab Sakhar El-aamri (from OMAN)

I wish the world would find some definite explanations of my fancy, or that it would know the meaning of my passion. O, that it would give some reason for the words I speak or for the echoes which repeat!

I wish the world could understand what you confessed to me, and your amour. O, that the world would know how the two have melted: A part from the depths of your space, With a part from the depths of my reaches. I wish the world would know the meaning for: "I adore you" or reveal mysterious signals which stream like purity of innocence and clarity of dawn- like the candour of an honest smile from your own eyes.

O you who grant a greater space upon the horizon of love and make love beam its light upon my path. O you are present in my memory in every pore within my heart whether in the distant past, the present, in that which to come or that which now is imminent- I adore you, all my life as a spontaneous song of affection.

O you who are the limpid spring gushing forth through the banks of eternity. You who are the fertility of oasis abounding in oleander and damask rose. You are a river of music inspiring poems of love. I adore you, all my life as a Sufi chanting of great longing ascending high where no perception can touch it nor human thought ever reach it.

Be like a promise which pulls me towards forgotten harbours of rapture, towards a tomorrow, towards rosy seasons where spring of the green days mingles with scent of perfumed dreams.

Be like a promise which takes me to summer's rivulets, to chirping sparrows in the field singing for light and glittering freedom.

I do not wish to unfathom hidden secrets of yours. I do not wish to unravel mysteries of your being. For where you to be seen in a clear light longing would disappear! For when a man knows a woman passion ends. For passionate love is a mystery... It signifies secrets and symbols. A passionate love is an awaited meeting one evening or one night which we do not foreknow.
