there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?

Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound remembrance that links all back to the Soul-Essence.
Voice : Md Taufikur Rahman
Music: Armand Amar
Transcription:
When I die
When my coffin
is being taken out
You must never think
I am missing this world
Don’t shed any tears
Don’t lament or
Feel sorry
I’m not falling
into a monster’s abyss
When you see
My corpse is being carried
Don’t cry for my leaving
I’m not leaving
I’m arriving at eternal love
When you leave me
in the grave
Don’t say goodbye
Remember a grave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind
You’ll only see me
Descending into a grave
Now watch me rise
How can there be an end
When the sun sets or
the moon goes down
It looks like the end
It seems like a sunset
But in reality it is a dawn
When the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed
Have you ever seen
a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life
Why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human
Have you ever seen
a bucket lowered into a well
coming back empty
Why lament for a soul
When it can come back
like Joseph from the well
When for the last time
you close your mouth
Your words and soul
will belong to the world of
no place no time.

Khalil Gibran was a Lebanese- American writer, poet, and painter chiefly known for his poetic essays and philosophical short stories.
The featured poem, ‘Do Not Love Half Lovers’ is perhaps one of Gibran’s most treasured works, urging us to live lives that are true to ourselves without compromise.
We hope you enjoy our rendition of this wonderful poem.

@wanpoetry is a community-oriented collective of poets that hosts live events in Houston every week. For tickets and more info visit wanpoetry.com/events.
After months of preliminary rounds with over 500 youth poets hailing from the Bay (San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Hayward and more), 12 finalists stepped up to the mic at the Nourse Theater on April 14th for a night of spoken word poetry at 2018 Teen Poetry Slam.
Unapologetically honest, attendees witnessed some of the Bay’s most outspoken youth poets. At the end of the night, 6 finalists will head to Houston, TX to represent the Bay Area at the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival in July 2018.
