-Over My Grave.
(to my sister, Fowsia)
Let there be no pretense to sadness, or
mourning in vain
Over my grave--my long-lost home
where at last I return
To, where all content lived before
ambition drove us all insane,
For it's been this grave for I
deeply yearn;
For I'll care little to cherish, if I could,
beyond this my very grave,
So much of loss and sorrow has been my
lot, the pain undue,
And this world, to me, has been too
cold to care, with nothing ultimately
to save;
From the wealthy trouble undue,
the tender-hearted love untrue:
I've seen 'the wise' gather and rule
perforce
For a tyrant-prince---a dishonest man
unburdened with conscience,
Stubbornly pursue to **** his own wife,
even after divorce,
Insisting it's of a high 'state need'--so
atrocious;
No, I'm glad to be at home, dear sister to
my sweet nature--
Glad, glad to awaken at last, glad that an
unkind world leaves me to my dream;
Done, done away with fast-fading,
foredoomed pretense to love and
adventure;
Glad to awaken from childish
nightmare, again to be whom I used
to be,a real Hakim.

NOTE: starting with the 9th-line ("I've seen the wise) till the 12th-line ("Insisting it's of. . .atrocous") addresses the love and marriage which Princess Diana
(July 1, 1961--August 31, 1997) shared with Charles, Prince of Wales then, all of which ultimately and directly led to the death, sudden and tragic, of Princess Diana.
