Cast off your jealous eye, remove <br />Those envious looks, you’re vexing me <br />If you bear me respect and love <br />Untie me, love is liberty… <br />I cannot see how you would call <br />Your conduct tender sisterhood <br />When I perceive a troubled soul <br />Reflected in your attitude <br />If I bestow a grain of care <br />Upon a lass -for court’sy’s sake- <br />Or else declare this girl is fair <br />This did thus, or that one so spake <br />This is no passion, dearie, this <br />Is blind possession, do not bind <br />My heart, love dies with avarice <br />But thrives untrammeled, unconfined <br />Hence cast off your suspicious eyes <br />Your zealous peeps are fretting me <br />You love me, why then loose my ties <br />My soul, allow my liberty. <br /> <br /> <br />Zgharta <br />May 16th 1989<br /><br />Samer Madbak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-055-liberty/
