Kismet of Love

Shall my predestination be of providence or ill foredoom
         with my weeping eyes filling with the anguish of yore?
For I cannot foresee the journey ahead, nor the chances
   I may take that could bring my soul ease in the tempest. 

         I need not a future that encompasses good fortune or riches, 
yet a fate that bestows a dulcet melody of love’s kismet. 
            I fear not, for my life is contingent upon kindness and mercy.
       My days ahead shall be filled with many rations of hope.
