Our mutual acquaintance
took place only one or two ages ago.
Remaining oblivious
and forgetting forever
are not the same thing.

In the eastern sky,
in the crimson hue
when, with a smile, You appear,
Your effulgence awakens unbound love
in the core of my heart.

With attentive ears and anxious eyes
I become absorbed in Your ideation.
In that absorbed state,
I exchange my heart with Yours.

When my mind stuff is restless,
it feels both pain and pleasure,
and my calm and illuminated heart
sings of Your victory.
