ONE SOUL

Her love which has been blessed by God

Is the best drink I have ever had

Like me she is undaunted and brave

And the better half of the soul I am

No other woman can match her love

She has proved it so by her words and deeds

We are already one as our secret bond

Of love is inscribed in the scrolls of God

She is the one who extended her arm

And saved me from sorrow's quicksand

And with her love and care she won

My heart she rules -- such is her charm

Very soon, as destined by God

She and I will unite to become

As the soul which was once one.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is also for my beloved and rare, adorable woman, whose love has removed almost every scar of the terrible past which was destroying me through and through. Why name her? A rose she is and as the Bard says so beautifully: A rose called by any name smells just as sweet. She has made a new man out of me with the God-blessed magic of her womanly love. I am a happier man now than I ever was and thanks to Allah/God Almighty, this beloved, rare woman of mine, happens to be an exact opposite of the she-devil who was forced upon me to be my wife. If any woman has made me feel better than my first love, my school mate Daphne John, it is this God-blessed woman...knock wood....May God keep her safe from all envy and jealousy, enmity and harm, Aameen/Amen.
