The Sea Never Assassinates Its Friends
27
Your eyes betrayed me Made my tears sink In the sea The Sea Never Assassinates Its Friends
But which sea?
Naji Almurisi
The sea is friend of tears Friend of love Friend of feelings Friend of the night Even the moon Adores the sea Sleeps among its waves
28
A sea of love Or a sea of illusion A sea of darkness Or a sea of feelings A sea walks Or a sea flies A sea laughs Or a sea cries
Which sea does not appreciate tears? How tears sink? And they were created from the sea
The sea never assassinates its friends In the jail Robbers are hiding And in my heart Lovers are hiding And in the sea Pearls are hiding The sea never assassinates its friends
