Rumi

If life was a song,
what would be your refrain?

When instruments of fate performed
in a ballad of somber sorrows,
I floated like a ballet dancer

I've finally gotten to experience your lips on mines, the outcome was uncontrollable
you have left me completely vulnerable to your attacks

I felt so high from the pleasure of it all that I'm am rendered unconsolable
We both knew this point...

I made some words...sound a little better 
I took them, and I scrambled them all up 
Straight from my cup...that overflows my love

I wrote...

And be brothy to...

cos the bees are a humming,
i might just be right??? 
set a new course...
