The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 18, 19 and 20

Part Eighteen — The Counsel of Saeed's Relatives

They came to Saeed, kith and kin,
Their faces pale, their hearts within

Full of concern. They gently said,
"What sorrow fills your weary head?

You've cast your soul before her feet,
Forsaken all for love so sweet.

You've lost yourself within her spell,
A wanderer in love's deep well.

You've severed ties with all the

Sonnet 20

I have seen and heard of love in another land!
A voice that made me and my mind feel at peace
So I must make my words come from my heart and lips by taking a stand!
The Destiny is a foreshadowing of our hearts coming to each other in a physical piece

True love begins with communication and

Premium Member20, Gently!

20 Gently!

20 is the age,
That many feel,
Is life’s apex
A self view,
Dream’s engage,
Visions unreel,
Of Youth’s rare vortex,
Energy accent ague,
Center stage,
Focus visions steal,
From our older annex,
Simcha True!
Love gently, yet rage,
Agin’ emotion neuter unreal,
Cuddle is the text,
Sensate Focus is the rule,
Be infected via phage,
Of 20, Gently!

Spring also known as vernal equinox arrives March 20th, 2025

Spring (also known as vernal) equinox arrives March 20th, 2025

at 5:01?AM in Northern Hemisphere
out of hibernation,
sans mancave, I will climb
eastern standard time,
when calendrical, celestial,
and chronological prime
airy factors mark
onset of temperate clime
mitt, also coincides with
'super worm equinox moon,'
to this Earthling, would appear
no larger than a dime

though ironically enough,
said satellite of Earth
closest to this oblate spheroid
whatever esoteric

Premium MemberJackie - Feb 20

And just when I thought life was turning gray,
A beam of sunshine cleaving clouds asunder 
Strolls into my sight and I must wonder,
Who is this that I meet this moody day?

That spotlight aura bends gravity around her,
I’m attracted, drawn in by her mystique.
And following her hypnotic physique,
I try to speak—but stutter, then flounder.

She’s tall, dark-haired,

Premium Member20-20 VISION

As a child growing up with blurred vision I use to wonder…
could anything be worse?
But the older I grew I began to see my blurry vision
as a blessing…not a curse.

When other children called me four-eyes…
I knew that wasn’t right….
but it made me hate to wear the very thing
that would improve my sight.

Looking back…I’d like to

HIND SIGHT 20 20!

Love disappeared and left me longing
a broken home topped off with losing it
To be wrong for trying to conclude the madness
to be able to concede but unable to retreat
Made me Frankenstein a monster 
whose reflection made me want to vomit
A child produced from the broken home
just for one side to perceive as if he was
