In the blue harbor of your eyes <br />Blow rains of melodious lights, <br />Dizzy suns and sails <br />Painting their voyage to endlessness. <br /> <br />In the blue harbor of your eyes <br />Is an open sea window, <br />And birds appear in the distance <br />Searching for islands still unborn. <br /> <br />In the blue harbor of your eyes <br />Snow falls in July. <br />Ships laden with turquoise <br />Spill over the sea and are not drowned. <br /> <br />In the blue harbor of your eyes <br />I run on the scattered rocks like a child <br />Breathing the fragrance of the sea <br />And return an exhausted bird. <br /> <br />In the blue harbor of your eyes <br />Stones sing in the night. <br />Who has hidden a thousand poems <br />In the closed book of your eyes? <br /> <br />If only, if only I were a sailor, <br />If only somebody'd give me a boat, <br />I would furl my sails each evening <br />In the blue harbor of your eyes.<br /><br />Nizar Qabbani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maritime-poem/
