Introduction

Introduction

What would you like to know about me?

Should I say

I keep my eyes and windows open

Even on cold winter nights?

Because Nights intoxicate me like women

Holding a curved knife, which is

The Moon made of ice

Ready to melt into my glass

From which I drink

And forget

That I have been drinking thorns and stars alike

For ages...

Yet I never cried...

Nobody heard me, crying...

Yes ...these lonely nights have made me

Laugh in the day time, let me stand without support

And in return I have promised her my blood...

These lines fell tripping over my finger ends when I wrote a brief introduction recently to get a membership of a library. These lines interfered with the ones I wrote there, so back home I sat down to unburdened my jaded mind.
