My lover asks me

My lover asks me  -Nizar Qabbani

Nizar Qabbani is one of my favourites poets. He was a Syrian diplomat, poet and publisher.

This poem in particular is very dear to my heart. I love its simplicity and the emotions that it stirs in me. This poem proves to me that you don't have to be in love, to feel love. Love is all around you in many different forms. If you can open yourself to accept that, then love is what you will feel.

Translated:
My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.

Again, I mixed acrylic with sand (from Tekek in Tioman Island) for the 3D effect because I loved it so much from the first time.
