Love in War

by Fatema Abdul Salik

Love hidden in darkness,
Quiet mood, slowly moving shadows.
Burning passion put on a low burn.

The soft meeting of hands:
A mother's love, a child's prayer--
Love hidden in darkness.

War over the lands,
Messages cut short by the black bans.
Burning passion put on a low burn.

The cursed wind that uncovered treasure below the sands:
County, family, son lost to the black  grim
Love hidden in darkness.

Money passing through common hands,
Longing for days passed in the ruins of my home.
Burning passion put on a low burn.

Peace and love to the lands...
A day with tranquility that is eternal...
Love hidden in darkness,
Burning passion put on a low burn.
