My beloved, a vision, and I, a whisper,
A fire within my heart, and I, a sister.
In the shade of your form, dear one, a shade,
A cooling burn, a secret, and I, a vista.
He steals my peace, keeps the night awake,
My love's way, a path, and I, the breaker.
Before my love, I lift my veil so light,
A playful breeze, a sigh, and I, the shaker.
When henna blooms on my hands, a promise kept,
That day's longing, a dream, and I, the maker.
