O Pirs Daughter

I am sitting over the mount’s top
On the highest rock
Watching the city’s scene;
As the bucks in countries
In summers do,
Rise to the highest point and stare down the dale,
Seeing in the side
Their beloveds live.
Oh come on! And I will show
How pigeons flutter round the tall domes of shrines;
Swans swim in the calm lake;
Kites diving in open sky;
Lovers gossip in grassy gardens
Under short shady trees;
People walking as toys, in the busy streets;
And wide walls of ancient king’s palace have half–fallen.
O Pir’s daughter
My love! My love! My love!
What are you uselessly so scared and coy?
Honey! We are not any American gays!
Lesbians, homos or bloody bi’s.
I am also a religious guy
A God-fearing father’s son,
Though, you are an overly pure woman!
And remember, we had fallen in love—
God willingly.

Pir is like a clergyman, a Father in kashmiri

I must admit FB, your reference, "What are you uselessly so scared and coy? Honey! We are not any American gays! Lesbians, homos or bloody bi’s. I am also a religious guy A God-fearing father’s son," took me aback a bit!...for I was under the belief that you were the kind of man who lived and let live. I hope I am not wrong!-to each his own//Interesting Write//Sinclair
