By Hakim
Last Night
I typed you,
And couldn't find you
Then I typed beauty
And you were all there
You are not reason,
Art has never been,
I paint you daily
To find how much more to know.
Every blink maketh thy eyes
A year is born and lived twice
I, mortal, not know you
Not should any man
The heart is so pure
Ain't corrupt the mind
To see thy soul, oh woman
You are a desire, never last
A Raven born to cast
Shadows thy thrill sane
Oh beauty, love is ethereal
Not every man can tame
Behold those eyes of
A child playing game
And muster the courage
Oh mind, why heart to blame
It wants her and she knows
‘Earn it as you have the way...’
Ahh! Woman, worth a chase
She knocks him to know
And make him raise
Plays with enrage
Oh goddess, he, mere human,
Not cast spell on mortal
Loveth he, thy, beauty praise
Knows your dancing heart
Words betray eyes apart
Soft vocal, and short gait
Envy mind plays her part
She resist, as she did as child
To not make the beats known
But keep the rage of wild
And he takes on charge
And say, Mademoiselle
I may fault but you always right
Will love thy forever, ever
Days with her, with her last night.
