[Inside the heart, love carps it lacks space.]
[]
Inside the heart, love carps it lacks space.
Inside a pearl, the raging sea is free.
Answering letters cramps your style.
Once every day, I have to write my story.
Autumn arrives on henna-tinted feet.
Night agony succeeds a splash of glory.
I could not scale the peaks of light.
The old pointers never worked for me.
Skipping the play, I let her collar me.
I played it safe: this love is haggle-free.
In the sun’s glare, I often think of her.
On sunny days, she has no time for pity.
