Dark Friend, what can I say? <br />This love I bring <br />from distant lifetimes is ancient, <br />do not revile it. <br />Seeing your elegant body <br />I am ravished. <br />Visit our courtyard, hear the women <br />singing old hymns <br />On the square I've laid <br />out a welcome of teardrops, <br />body and mind I surrendered ages ago, <br />taking refuge <br />wherever your feet pass. <br />Mira flees from lifetime to lifetime, <br />your virgin.<br /><br />Mirabai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-friend-what-can-i-say/
