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 and kin's control,
Praise be! The face of peace he found,
His shirt of sorrow torn and drowned.
He bound his heart to lover's hair,
Escaped the world's cold, harsh despair.
In joy they lived, in laughter bright,
Their sacred vows, their hearts alight.
Two bodies but one soul complete,
In love's sweet street they found their beat.
No more "Giti" or "Saeed" to name,
Just Wine and Cup, one heart, one flame.

Thus ends the tale of love's sweet art,
Where two souls joined to make one heart.

Love kept its steady promise
Its word was again spoken to me
Reminding me, once more,
That my stay in Earth’s hostile garden
Shall come to an end someday
And reality shall continue for me,
In a world fairer,
Ruled by the one for whom my heart beats!
Love kept its steady promise
As the word had me smiling
Relieved, aware that I shall
Vanquish those who dare hurl at me,
Arrows laden with venom!
And in this mystical love
Do I bask in
As freely as would unicorns in their own magic
Or as sincerely
As do saints in their faith
Or as gracefully
As do butterflies dance in rose gardens!
Of love’s steady promise do I
Return, as diligently as a
Submissive wife, for without its breath upon me
I become as useless as dust
Meant to be cleaned
And forgotten as new dawns would
Settle in bright new days
And as new moons do shine in
On crystal clear nights!
Of this love I do make my rope
Clinging on to it
Tightly and desperately even
For there be no cause left for me
Other than it!

Happy birthday to all Scorpios. It is our season, I hope the transformation has been fruitful. I recently came out of a toxic relationship and I wrote this on this on the 28th of October 2020. Everything in my life is rapidly happening exactly how I manifested it. Truthfully speaking, I am peaceful, in love, and choosing happiness.
Reborn into nature we float,
Reborn are these dreams,
I dance to drink.
To my soul
have mercy on my thirst
Let this love sing,
help me work on channeling my light
that I no longer
need to
Speak
about how unconditional
I have been.
If this is not for the heart to stay
maybe finally my heart is complete,
from responding to
how I really feel.

Infectious!
by Hafiz
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
I became infected with happiness tonight
as I wandered idly, singing in the starlight.
Now I'm wonderfully contagious—
so kiss me!

You carry to my lips
The taste of honey and lemon,
My mystical love.
I feel you within me like a cresting wave,
Like the sun spilling gold on a lake,
Like a field full of birds
Rising as one into the sky.
You inhabit every part of me.
With soft fire I burn,
You carefully attendant on the flame,
Eyes soothing like a late spring breeze,
Skin white, soft as a lotus flower,
The fire burning brightly just below the tender petals.
The soft sigh of your breath
Stirs all the joy I can carry up from the depths of me,
In those cliffhanging moments
When all movement resolves to rapture,
We trembling at the peak, then starting to descend -
The sound of your sighing
Makes the stars burn all the brighter for me.
Through you I see this life
Dressed in all the beauty it can bear.
Small wonder then, this adoration of mine,
For you, my mystic love.
