Enigma of the Unwritten Woman
A Love’s Unraveling
How, my dear, shall I unlock your realm,
Which key to open doors to your domain?
What verses grant me passage to the throne,
And what sweet wine will bribe your guards in vain?
I’ve studied every art of love and lore,
Philosophers and madness intertwined,
No book of passion left unturned, ignored,
Yet, still your heart’s enigma I can’t find.
I’ve tried the ancient remedies of old,
Sought secrets held by sages of the East,
But neither Chinese herbs nor mantras bold,
Could grant me victory o’er this love’s beast.
Unwritten woman, none can pen your tale,
You live in all, and nothing can avail.
To summon spirits, I’ve employed their charms,
Yet failed to sway your heart and soul to me,
In punishment, another’s arms I sought,
But found the torment grew exponentially.
Show me the path to vanquish you, my love,
Each whip upon your breast recoils on mine,
And every strike to wound you from above,
Bleeds my own…
