Give me my dagger, beloved.
See the days pass where I
do not use it.
Inshallah
nights will follow where it remains
untouched,
guarding our door
while we dream.

Waves
Of love, here is what I may tell you:
tread lightly upon the sands that spell the time of the heart.
Let no weight press too firmly against the slipping grains in hope –
waters churn away all.
These endless waves
keep perfect balance.

No Meaning
Wolves howl danger in my hear
Ringing clear, drawing near
For the pain and for the fear
I cannot stop.
To remain is to kindle fire
Burning flame, rise ever higher
Call me wretched, name me liar
I cannot stop.
Though panic strikes me fair
And I feign a lack of care
There is suddenly no air
I cannot stop.
Left to ponder and to pine
After dream, never mine
Cursing the slow pass of time
I cannot stop.
Now I roil and I ache
With a want of no good slake
Pray for me, for pity’s sake
I cannot stop.
Heart beating ever faster
In the wake of such disaster
Impulsive always of no master
I cannot stop.
Through my suffering and my keening
There leaves no other answer seeming
Without you there is no meaning
I cannot stop.
Little Fool
Thrilled and persistent
A Princess with spindle spool
Believes she is doing something right
Beautiful Little Fool
Love, danger, passion
Disregard the rules
Happy, safe – for now
Silly Little Fool
Alone and melancholy
Searching for blue, calm, cool
Clinging on to already gone
Sad Little Fool
Sinking further downwards
No longer bonded dual
Battling rude awakening
Fool, Fool, Fool
To my beloved husband
You saved me
from the misery of an unspeakable fate to which I had condemned myself.
With an open heart
you tenderly invited me along a journey that would be none but ours.
A pool of memories
swells before us: clear, deep, irreplaceable.
A love story
have you woven for me, with threads of silken embrace.
I am warmed
in the sure cloak of your love, unending and true.
With ginger steps
I wandered into womanhood: that place where our souls entwined.
To my beloved husband,
once lost, I am found…
beside you I am crowned.
