Shahla Latifi

Emptiness

 

My nights are empty

Empty of romance

Empty of pleasure

Empty of sex

 

 

My nights are empty

Empty of greed

Empty of desires

Empty of sorrow and regrets

 

 

But when the moon is fallen beside me

When the stars are sleeping under the pillow of my affection

When my head is leaning over the horizon

The emptiness closes
