Twist my soul around little finger
Turn about now and let looks linger
Hold something dear in heart so far
Just shatter thoughts, oh chaos bringer
Empty mind and empty soul
Onto my platter, for thats your goal
Stifling pain amongst yourselves
But make sure mine is born in full
Loving, loving, means nothing now
You foolish girl, you stubborn sow
You cry in pain and take the gain
But hurt’s not something I’ll allow
Something more is hidden deeper
Under heart’s thick vine and creeper
But just as wishes pour so free
I’ll no longer be your keeper
I don’t begrudge you what you want
Assuming you can be up front
But you’ll not stop me from my game
It’s for to be alone, I hunt
To seek and strive yet just held back
Your need is like a bit of tack
Just driven through my heart so well
I cannot fight the pain it packs
Show me once and tell me never
What I’ll have for these endeavors
Withstanding all your foolishness
Just searching life for something clever
I had no idea that this form was called Ruba’i when I used it. I was also ignorant of its origins. Silly me. Thanks for reading.
