When I love <br />I feel that I am the king of time <br />I possess the earth and everything on it <br />and ride into the sun upon my horse. <br /> <br />When I love <br />I become liquid light <br />invisible to the eye <br />and the poems in my notebooks <br />become fields of mimosa and poppy. <br /> <br />When I love <br />the water gushes from my fingers <br />grass grows on my tongue <br />when I love <br />I become time outside all time. <br /> <br />When I love a woman <br />all the trees <br />run barefoot toward me…<br /><br />Nizar Qabbani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-i-love-3/
