Asking me, “with all this devastation, how would you survive my love?”, How would I know! I am only on a wave in the oceans of your love. Asking me “where are you?”, What would I know! Asking me “walking to the altar of souls, aren’t you afraid?”, How would I know! Shams*'s love fascinated me so much that made me doubt any kind of Monotheism or Dualism, how would I know? Asking me “You said you’re a feral bird! then what is this cage for? ... How would I know? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shams_T...
