Poem - Yesterday's Encounter, Poet - Hassane Yarti (Morocco)

 

Yesterday's Encounter

Hassane Yarti 

Yesterday's encounter...

Its lifespan was kisses, and the words were whispers,

It did not conclude until the sun rose.

Can yesterday return to me?

Yesterday's encounter...

All five senses took part,

It was all joy, like a wedding day.

Can I sell my tomorrow for yesterday?

Yesterday's encounter...

Merged water and embers in the same glass,

It melted souls, my spirit made its offering.

Can today become yesterday?

An encounter whose light was a candle,

Like a festive gathering,

An encounter of love,

An encounter of touch.

Can I die, and let yesterday live?
