        Sometimes, when it's tranquil and I get to   p o n d e r
      I begin to fathom we're made for each   o t h e r;
     I know that God plumped up my chest and its   c o n t e n t
     to safeguard your worn out bones from curling   o v e r.

    Laced, our hands trace shadows under mint moon's   c r e s c e n t;  
   we are lost causes and divulged dances   o u t s p e n t.  
   I know my skin is downy as opposed to   y o u r s
    for you to take shelter under my winged   s e g m e n t.

     Still, understand that you're the reason I can   s o a r,
     accept that we're a pastiche of paramour   c o r e s.
      I'm the answer to your unspoken   l i t a n y;
        Surely, you're my inglenook and my lifeboat's   o a r s.

Rubaiyat is an Arabic/Persian form of fixed poetry consisting of
quatrains (4-line stanzas) where
lines one, two, and four rhyme and the third line
can be used to interlock the next stanza by
doing so with three or more stanzas.
