By Safiyy Tajmal for his beloved Mildi
To me has my soul spoken at last
She had her existence in a foreign land cast
Met we quite by fate’s chance
To do nothing for each other but enhance
The pangs of a despised existence,
And a much unfulfilled subsistence,
Hath we in each other found;
And with love and company we made the other one sound;
Vowed we both to accompany till the grave,
And a stop to that we do never crave
Her bludgeoning eyes and long fingers make her touch extreme
While scooping before her mouth loads of ice-cream
Her childlike tales and manners never fail to adore,
Always leaving me wanting more
Love I truly all of her
Including her plunges into danger
By God, she loves me truly now,
And doubts the authenticity of my vow
I shall carry her in my arms with felicity
To the ends of this earth for eternity
For I love her so intensely;
She is my gift and my only hope
Without her the burden of existence would I fail to cope
Thou exuberant stars, would you my only wish hear
Of keeping her warm face to me always near
For such is her role, so please bid me,
The company of my own soul, of my sweet darling Mildi
