Defining Love

You are trying to steal
me from me. I will remain quiet like
the sealed lips of rising moon.

Between me and you lies
the beauty of separateness in intimacy.
O jeweller, take away your necklace.

I was plucking the buds of
black roses, to remind you of the taste
of acid you peeled off from the leaves of Eden.
