Why Did I Bother?

Pearls of the sky and jewels of the sea

Gorgeousness appropriately phased

Beside intellect’s divine decree

Heaven's vault of topaz is raised

The deep chasms of agony that are felt when love falters

My friend has been stung by an attack that halters

I know the freshness of that hurt which he now encounters

To try helping these two so much, why did I bother?

This Mother is not bringing her child to his Father

I am somehow left to join the two in between

How many times must we do this again?

Singed by a desert sun beam

It’s ancient luminescent pain

Echoes in the shining blood’s gleam

My wound has opened itself clean

Only now with new red rips at the seam

Sitting on the bench by the court at Kits

A product of love caught in between two splits

Not forgetting thee in the fog of war’s midst

Some may love you in bites -

I love you to bits

It’s from الله
