cloud cover

Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,

no light and no land anywhere,

cloud cover thick.

I try to stay

just above the surface,

yet I'm already under

and living with the ocean

my burning heart

My heart is burning with love

All can see this flame

My heart is pulsing with passion

like waves on an ocean

my friends have become strangers

and I’m surrounded by enemies

But I’m free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me

I’m at home wherever I am

And in the room of lovers

I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances

Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world

I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers
