O HEART, DON'T FALL
O Love, be moderate; allay thy ecstasy,
for the men around are pensive,
their eyes show no mercy.
Grief and sorrow keeps playing their game,
so I plead thee, O heart,
don’t fall, refrain.

O sweet Venus, simmer the chariot driven by thee,
the touch of pain is evident in thy eyes,
the ones that often shine with glee.
Misery is the anchor holding thee at bay,
so I plead thee, O heart,
don’t fall, if thy may.

O bright stars, that die on such a night,
where two young lovers separate out of spite,
be gone, hatred in the awakening of love,
let lady Diana shed her light,
so I plead thee, O heart,
don’t fall, don’t put up a fight.

O motherly Juno, give me strength to fight for my pride,
as the mortal men are devious,
their hearts are cold, their tears have dried.
Let no Zeus trick thee into a treacherous kiss,
so I plead thee, O heart,
don’t fall, for ignorance is bliss.  
-Saniya Rumaiza
