YOU ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL
ANWER GHANI
Yes, nature is beautiful but you are more
beautiful than nature. Yes, the city is spectacular but you are more
magnificent than the city. When you break my loneliness with your crazy
clamor, life has another taste. When you sink my body with your dewy fields and
wet grapes then the moments becomes more magical. You do not know how beautiful
the evening is with you, you do not know how desolate nature is without your
sweet voice and you do not know how cold the city is without your lovely warmness. I love nature and I know
that there is magic, but these winter streets and these low lights, make your
face more bright, And these high-rise glass buildings and the
bridge over which we sang, I imagine if there was no bridge here, how would we
recite our poems? Look at the big hours, the
big squares and the big markets,
they are charming but they are without you becoming dim. Luxury restaurants,
luxury hotels and luxury jets leave unforgettable memories. Do you remember
that? All of this makes life a different magic and a different taste, and you
are, in the midst of all this, more beautiful than nature and the city.
