Did you not know

That at the beginning of time

Our union was etched

On the divine tablet when we were nought?

 

So roar out your rage

My dear dear JASY

To tame these pestilent tiffs

That lovers have which spice their bond

 

Indeed, I can fathom

My dear dear JASY

The depth of angst of a lover hurt,

 

And if you make me mad

I shall release my anger;

And lash at you with a feather whip

To imprint on your soul

The sweetness of my rage.

 

My muse forlorn;

Springs forth verses meant for you

Slicing through my fervent prayers

At Fajr; at the dawn of day.

 

Sooth your soul, my dear dear JASY

Let the tender breeze from my soul

Forever calm your gentle heart

 

Did you not know,

That the muse had carved,

On the cicatrix of my heart;

That this poet shall love you forever more?
