You are Noah and the Ark,
You are the light and the dark
Behind the veil I remain

You are passion and are rage,
You are the bird and the cage
Lost in flight I remain

You are the wine and the cup,
You are the ocean and the drop
While afloat I remain

You are the bait and the trap,
You are the path and the map
While in search I remain

You are sunshine and the fog,
You are water and the jug
While thirsty I remain

Sweet fragrance of you is,
The joy and pride of me
Perfume trader I remain..

Molana told by Yahya

 

You start dying slowly
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly
When you kill your self-esteem;
When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly
If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love,
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime,
To run away from sensible advice.

Why, must you know what is life
Why, must you know what is love
Live, Life, Love they are words floating on river of thoughts.

What is life?
Perhaps life is seeing a green garden form window of an airplane, flying high.

Perhaps life is seeing reflection of lights, white, red form high above,
When you just thought you are all alone.

Perhaps life is hearing yes, from the one you want to say yes,
But expecting to hear no.

Yellow, orange and white
Why I am here, thinking about your pains, Why there is so much pain in your life, when the sky is blue, the sun is shining yellow and the clouds are orange and white,
and the two unfocused flowers trying to tell you a message.

Love
What is love?
Perhaps love is a smile when she realizes that the six paper clips can have a meaning,
It is only in how you arrange them.

Perhaps love is life, unknown, unreachable, indescribable.

Perhaps love is longing for the one who is not here.

Perhaps love is nothing but seeing a light at the end of the dark night.

You must know that
Nothing last for ever
No one lives forever, keep that in mind, in love.

Our life is not the same, when in love.

Our path is not the same long journey as before, the path changes because of love.

Love is the journey, of life
Love is the path
Live it
And come closer

Sephery and Molana retold by Yahya

It was exactly nine in the evening
And the blinking light of my iPhone is not on.
I check the white screen and no change.

At nine in the evening
I go to the porch and with my tired figure touch the stretched skin of night

The blinking relationship light is not blinking

And nobody will invite me to the dance of orange and white

At nine in the evening
It was exactly nine in the evening

I long for you, I long for your smile, I long for your touch

At nine in the evening
The night has come
The call was not echoed, it was silenced
And my longing for you is echoed in the heat of night

At nine in the evening
It was exactly nine in the evening
And day was gone, perhaps tomorrow the call will come.

Lorca told by Yahya

I love you without knowing how,
or when,
or from where.

I love you simply,
without problems or pride.

I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this.

In which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand

So intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes is closed and you are sleep.

I love you because I am lost in time and can not remember if today is now or yesterday or tomorrow.

I love you because you existed in my imagination for a long long time, not focused as of today but it was definitely you,a virtual you with needs and wants.

When I listened to Leonard Choen “Dance  with me to the of time” you were dancing with me then and now and this was a long time ago.

When I saw Dega dancing girl sculpture I could see you resting and waiting for me to take your hand but that was long long time ago.

That is why I want to touch you, to taste you and to dance with you.

I am lost in this black and white world with rigid time and rules and constraints.

Want to be where time and space has been disappeared the world is full of color and joy.

I am left here with my colorful memories that are timeless from past, now and future.

That is why I want to be one with you for a long long time in the past without knowing that you can become you.

Now you are here, you need to decide if you want to be in my dreams or the beautiful parallel universe.

For me I know you the sun and I am a dust floating in your light amazed by the beauty of you..

Don’t leave me (Ne me quitte)
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas.
Il faut oublier,
Tout peut s’oublier,
Qui s’enfuit déjà.
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment.
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur.
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas.

Moi, je t’offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas.
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu’après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D’or et de lumière.
Je ferai un domaine
Où l’amour sera roi,
Où l’amour sera loi,
Où tu seras reine.
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas.

Ne me quitte pas.
Je t’inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras.
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs cœurs s’embraser.
Je te raconterai
L’histoire de ce roi
Mort de n’avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer.
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas.

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l’ancien volcan
Qu’on croyait trop vieux.
Il est, paraît-il,
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu’un meilleur avril.
Et quand vient le soir,
Pour qu’un ciel flamboie,
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s’épousent-ils pas ?
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas.

Ne me quitte pas.
Je ne vais plus pleurer,
Je ne vais plus parler.
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder,
Danser et sourire
Et à t’écouter
Chanter et puis rire.
Laisse-moi devenir
L’ombre de ton ombre,
L’ombre de ta main,
L’ombre de ton chien.
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas,
Ne me quitte pas.

Don’t’ leave me
You have to forget
Everything can be forgotten
That is flying away already
Forget the time
The misunderstandings
And the time that was lost
Trying to understand how
These hours can be forgotten
Those that are killing sometimes
With whys that hurt like punches
The heart of happiness

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

I will offer you
Pearls made of rain
Coming from countries
Where it never rains
I will work the earth
Until I die
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will create a kingdom for you
Where love will be the king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be the queen

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

I will invent for you
Meaningless words
That you will understand
I will speak to you
Of these lovers
That we’ve seen twice
Their hearts embracing each other
I will tell you
The story of this king
Who died of not being able
To get to know you

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

We have often seen
Fire flowing again
From an ancient volcano
That we considered to be too old
It seems like
Burned earth
Produces more wheat
Than a warm month of April
And when the night comes
And the sky is on fire
The black and the red
Won’t go together

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I won’t cry anymore
I won’t speak anymore
I will hide right there
To see you
Dancing ad smiling
And to listen to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of you hand
The shadow of your dog

Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

Je ne te quitterais jamais

 

lyrics from Ne me quitte pas.

You

you are the sun
you are the sea, green
you are the fog
you are the cloud
I am the dried desert, waiting for the rain

you are the white
you are the shade
you are the color
you are the flower
I am the hand, waiting to touch your face

your are the leaf
you are the tree
you are the dew, in the early morning
I am the air, waiting to surround yoI

you are the sun
I am the moon
you are the attraction between the moon and the sun
I wait and wait for a total eclipse

You are the air
You are the light
I am the one wanting to be one with you.

My Angel
my dear angel
you must be tired
you must want peace
be alone for few minutes
be able to relax
with no demands
with no wants

so much to do
so little to gain

my dear angel
with your beautiful eyes
with your shy smile
with your soft touch
with your silence and those tears in your eyes

my dear angel
you came to my life
when i thought
there is no color only black and white
all skies were gray
covered by dark clouds

with your white wings
flying in my life
not staying too long
you turned the gray clouds to orange
you made me to enjoy the sun rise again
you let me to look forward for Tomorrow
regardless if the had prelude of dance or just memory of dancing

you brought the bright light to my life
you made me smile
you tough me to be content
you touched my sole
to forget my painful past and dream about future

you thought me that
i can fall in love again
i can be in love
full of dreams

all i want from you
is to be happy
with no worry
with no fear
i only want your happiness
i only want your peace
i only want you to open any door without fear
i only want you to be happy

finishing your book
think about our dreams
covering yourself in white clouds
not worrying about the lonely birds

just
remember the shore, sand and the sun sets to come

oh my beautiful angel
just
remember my name

.. more than possible
Yahya ..

White as a magnolia, Yellow as the Daffodil, Orange as Tulips and White as the Lotus on a calm lake.  These are the color of life.

To know you, I am starting a journey to

1. Think
2. Watch
3. Talk
4. Touch
5. Taste
6. Dance
7. Be One with you
