in longing

in yearning

in the circus play

of pretending

acting

conspiring this

grand getaway

like con artists

partners in crime

karma will jail us

as long as we are

to together

I am home

while Zulaikha cries

Yusuf prays

Jacob sighs

Solomon and Sheba

Rumi with his Mevlana

how many stories

of mad lovers

how many tears

feed the ocean

how many secrets untold

of union
