50. Ode to Love
By JH Sayyar
1
O! Goddess of Love, you live in the sky
I try to trace you but fail in your search,
All you live in hearts or in a maiden’s eye,
I see women’s love leave in the lurch,
I search love in women’s eyes; badly fail,
No love I find, false promises and pleasure,
Full of deceit lust beautifies with plastic art,
Hides flaws of wrinkled face; cheeks frail,
Glass declares belle, cosmetic art measure,
Voice attractive glowing cheeks, lie in heart,
2
Shepherds tell me; love lives in dogs’ eyes,
Never betrays as women deceive within days,
What they get is waste, hearts full of cries,
The trap of women is; false beauty praise,
Love: a self deceit and idle men pleasure,
Hearts full of lust; the lust of thigh place,
Thinking life is lust; soul nothing in lone,
Play with breasts their solitude treasure,
Bind hearts with art, lust; a forward pace,
I see from our hearts; holy love has gone
3
Love lives in cutes’ hearts; I am seeing!,
Glass teaches tricks how to hide face flaws,
Day by day the dying Love’s pretty being,
Art Beauty cannot deceive Time paws,
Whore’s tongue for lovers; a night balm,
Love; a holy thing stays not on unholy earth,
Love: a holy gift; a child of paradise,
Love lives in kids’ hearts, their night calm,
God awards holy love in holy hearts at birth,
Love; in women’s heat; a lie; I summarize
