302. When you go campus to teach,

SONNET 302

By JH Sayyar
When you go campus to teach,
With a black scarf on the face,
A bag on shoulders with grace,
As mermaid sings on the beach,
Your glow on face and in eyes,
Your hoopoe stalk with trust,
You hair spread on the breast,
In your eyes hopes fall and rise
To know you look at the ring,
Frisking like sparrow I do find,
Your thinking, you none to kind,
Your smile for me gallows strong,

I see treason in your eyes tonight,
Showing me crushing love might
