HEARTS OF STONE

The stars revolve like pilgrims

Around the North Pole of the sky

And on the earth in Holy Makkah*

They rotate around the Kaaba*



Lovers I was once told

Make their hearts their Kaabas*

And always fulfilled vows

Of being there for each other.



But there are some women

Who like lonely living

And not for even once

Circle around their love.



It's like living in a space ship

On a trip beyond the known

And some human hearts too

Are like spaceships and stone.
