Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder of the IDEA Public Union, shared a poem she penned on her official "Instagram" account.
Modern.az presents that post:
No matter how strong your desire,
Do not reach your hand for that flower.
Whatever you claim to have gained,
You will destroy it with your own hands!
Do not pluck it, allow it to live,
Let its magical beauty caress the soul.
When the heart's love is unattainable,
Let it remain an eternal wish in your heart.
Open, selfless, pure again,
Your soul whispers its secret to me.
To be alone with it is a bliss,
It is a truth not shrouded in lies.
I am so at peace in your embrace…
When your longing settles in my heart
I breathe life into the sleepless night,
Without desiring anyone else!
Do not harm this flower, do not touch it,
I did not know such fragility existed.
Let time flow through these lines,
Love is what remains eternal, like a secret!
