why nights without you
burn me like scorching coal fire
my beloved? love indeed

would you come back soon
to hold me passionately
that fast my aches end? Indeed

I have just tried. I do not know whether this is what is expected by the sponsor. I am sure, you being a master poet can write far better than this.
