By Lady Jira
If one has not known love before
How does one recognize this lore
For when I look into his eyes
To him my heart and soul does cry
Though my lips would remain mute
For fear my thoughts would be rebuked
"Is this true love?" My question be
Or has Eros cruelly toyed with me?
And does my subject feel the same
Or do I suffer thus in vain
Trapped in fear and uncertainty
Does he feel this way of me?
