A Walk in the Sky

I walked alone, the bewildered stars, past day and night, circled my journey's secret. I left the old order. *** What can I tell you about Paradise, desire's horizon? Birds in olive trees, houris unveiled, goblets clinking. *** Beyond Paradise, a place so dark even Layla's curls would pale, so icy, Venus herself would hide. *** "What is this place?" "This is hell," an angel answered to my surprise. "Here, borrowed fire creates turmoil: *** those who come here are their own flame." _____________ Translated by Rafiq Kathwari Source: Big City Lit
