Poem by Rifat Ismaili

Open the curtains

Open the curtains to start the game of life
Undress the woman’s morning shirt


Make a tiled dome woven with sunlight
With the milky nipples of the new day, you get drunk …


Open the curtains and become your own character
Imitate being a prince and a king
Grind a little and deny Hamlet,
How Moses divides the sea …


Open the curtains and change the false scenario
Invite the gods of Olympus to the acting game
Win the heart of Leda who succumbed to the swan
Paint Aphrodite’s lips with a little honey …
Open the curtains of knowledge and truth


Sit and meditate on Archimedes’ feet
Try tearing Poseidon’s anger with your teeth
Reach out to Odysseus not to grab him,
The song of the winds and the allure of the sirens,

Then throw on the flames where Galileo burns
Freeze untouched high above the sky …
Open the curtains to save yourself
Dive deep into the darkness of the sea


Bring ashore untapped treasures
Love makes a scepter from the lights …
Open the curtains of the depth of yourself
With Columbus’ compass discover undiscovered areas


Drive after the Muse and imprison in the heart
Woven ancient and magical words by the poet …
Open the curtains to breathe, to drain the veins
Scatter the clouds of folly that have invaded you


With the sword of words penetrate the dark shadows in the heart
How do you play Peter Pan and laugh at death without fear …
Open the curtains hesitantly as a heart opens
Leave a word of love like a diamond in there,


Build poetry with the word and the word
Write your name with hero gestures and deeds …
