(for Sulekha Amin Omar)
"Omnia vincit amor."
-Virgil.
I see vast seas asleep in your eyes;
And mere smiles that pour joy into my
heart,
I see in you a blessed beauty unknown up
till now!
I see you as the sun treads westward,
And arrows spread as blind sky reflects
I see you alone among all who under the
sky live!
I see the delight you bring to a troubled
spirit
And see the dawn of New Spring as you
in my thoughts come ,
I see you all the time, Darling, lest I Love
You forevermore!
