I long to open up my heart For...

The ghazal

I long to open up my heart

For my heart do my part.

My story was yesterday’s news

From rivals cannot keep apart.

On this holy night stay with me

Till the morning, do not depart.

On a night so dark as this,

My course, how can I chart?

O breath of life, help me tonight

That in the morn I make a start.

In my love for you, I will

My self and ego thwart.

Like Hafiz, being love smart;

I long to master that art.
