The Lover’s Journey

Once began, love’s journey cannot stop
For anyone except the beloved,
Who is both wine and chocolate,
Death and birth for the lover.

For anyone except the beloved,
The lover will remain motionless,
Upon the ocean of desire.

Who is both wine and chocolate,
Who satisfies the lover’s starving soul,
And quenches loves unquenchable thirst?

Death and birth for the lover,
Is finding a trace of the beloved,
Left weeks or months before.
