split wide open

you are the essence of the sun.

i'm only the shadow of the willow tree

when you shine down upon my head,

i get shorter, melt and disappear.

my heart found the spark of life, 

then split wide open.

my heart found your satin

and gave up this worn, patched cloth.

the embodied soul

was talking about glances and vision

in the early dawn.

i was but a slave who became a landholder

and then turned into a sultan who has everything
