The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 30
Part Thirty — The Story's End
Sweet Giti, gem in heaven's ring,
Stayed true in love through everything.
Her heart she gave to her dear flame,
Soul's companion, love's sweet name.
And Saeed—behold his blessed state!
Though challenged by his cruel fate,
Hear how his trials came to bear
His faithful heart, worn down by care.
Despite the wounds and aching soul,
From strangers' scorn

Forbidden Ground
Wandering
beyond the limitation
of death
Trespassing
through the back gate
of forever
Maundering
alone in a virgin
wilderness
Witnessing
the future destruction
— of time

Bookends
Enough to be absent
he fumbled the words
His mind ever vacant
new truancies heard
Those spaces beyond him
those spaces behind
Bookends of fruition
— unspoken defined

Is 30 Silver Coins All I'm Worth
Is 30 Silver Coins All I’m Worth?
Is money all you want?
Don’t walk away from the cross.
What is 30 coins worth?
What am I worth to you?
I gave you life.
You were betrayed with a lie.
You surrendered yourself to the world.
I was handed over for just 30 shekels.
As a

Recordance - Apr 30
A slivered moon is looming peacefully
above the pristine glow of golden dusk,
bathing in a navy sky,—me?, I bask
in her gush of seraphic majesty.
A careful look, cast in serenity,
reveals the silent shadow of her disk;
the sunless face wears a dark veil. Her mask
gazes upon me,—in return, I see
the full splendor of her

Water, 30 random word prompt
The weight of the water is heavy in my chest, a force pressing against the ribs. It rises when I don’t expect it, like a flood breaking through cracked, neglected seams. The truck of my memory rumbles through my mind, rusty with age, hauling fragments I thought were extinguished long ago. I paste the pieces

30 AND DEATH SEEMS FAR AWAY
How toxic can my heart get
That it relies on my head so often?
An escape from reality each time
It finds solace in something delicious.
And many times, my heart escapes my head,
Reminding me that I’m still alive.
I can’t erase the sad memories from my heart,

Humble B Bumble - 30 - Bee-lieve
Bee-lieve
In the pines, in the pines,
There lived a bee who shivered the whole night through.
His hair was dyed, his enormous size,
Meant he didn’t have to listen to anyone and he ruled his crew,
With fear and intimidation;
He sought to bee the cause of social dysfunction.
The Blues-Bee was hardest to bee seen,
When the moon was up
