The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 21, 22 and 23
Part Twenty-One — Saeed's Supplication to God
One day with flute and mournful song,
Saeed began a prayer so long.
His patience broke, he lost his hold,
His heart grew weary, tired, and cold.
Disheartened by both friend and kin,
Sorrow consumed his soul within.
He turned toward the starlit sky
And raised to heaven his mournful cry:
"O Lord, Creator of all worlds,

After Their Deaths '21-'22
After he died, I'm always drinking.
After she died, I'm always smoking.
Because what use is a life worth living
If I cannot numb the grief I am feeling.
After he died, I'm always wondering
What could've been if everything was improving.
After she died, I'm always being
A better person for those worth loving.
After he died, I was always crying
About how

Another Sonnet - Apr 21
A(nother) (Sh*tty) Sonnet
Cute girl who works the local liquor store
counter, I wonder sometimes how I strike
you.—am I happy in your eyes?—do you like
to speak, when daily, as a steady chore,
I stroll onto your heavenly sales floor?
(You said it was another day (yes fake)
‘in paradise’, in answer to my joke.—
—and then I left with my

Testament - Feb 21
If unexpectedly I were to die,
then this at least is here for all to see -
something of mine, a collection of what was I;
to survive the flesh, what could beat poetry?
Hubris begs me "Don't leave this world unknown!"
In secret I agree, but as for pride,
it tugs my sleeve and beckons with a groan,
"Are you

21 Year Anniversary
Two decades and one, we've shared this ride,
Through laughter, tears, with love as our guide.
The years have flown, but still we stand,
Hand in hand, heart to heart, our love so grand.
We've built a life, a story to tell,
In every moment, in every spell.
From the first hello to this love we've grown,
Together we've flourished, together we've
