Enduring Love

 

Ghazal

 

Enduring love

 

When in the night the moon appears

her silver light will calm your fears.

 

The darkness offers you no threat,

weep not my love and dry your tears.

 

The loveliness that lights the sky

will slowly fade as morning ears

 

In majesty the sun will reign.

with blazing light and heat that sears.

 

Come to my tent at noon to rest,

there far away from listening ears.

 

We can engage in dalliance

and none will dare to interfere.

 

The joy of love that we have known

together now for many years.

 

Can still to us great comfort bring,

your beauty fades not with the years.

 

To you I am still offering

the true love of Poetic piers.
