Maral Of Persia

Maral,
She of the enchanting smile,
The lovely eyes,
The curvaceous loveliness.

I thank thee
For thy friendship
For thy charm
For thy wit

I'm glad to have met you.
I'm glad to be your friend.
I respect your views.
I respect your courage.
I value your wisdom.

I know that you've experienced pain,
I respect your privacy,
I hope you'll open up to me,
Eventually

For while lovers,
Female and male,
Vanish with time,
For all human beings,
Friends remain.

I wish you the best of luck,
With life and love,
With academia and activism,
My gorgeous friend,
Maral Of Persia

For now,
And for all time,
This Haitian man warmly salutes thee,
Lovely lady of the enchanting eyes.
