Part I

My Beloved, Why are you so quiet?

You're always still - handsomely quiet.

No! You will step into the light tonight-

Yes! Even if I have to spark a flame.

Your smile that would be an enticing sight;

The ultimate tactic to win the game!

Dash to my room, I'll be victorious!

I loosen my uniform; the ribbon

That ties - unravel that tangled ribbon,

That native cuff that keeps my hair bound.

I pinch my cheeks and write a little note

Telling my sweet that I have to be found.

A private talk in the garden, I quote

Vaguely. Not told but results glorious!

Nervously tense while down that I go.

Your love I dreamt as to your door I go.

The door glides open without effort.

I plead with the gods to keep you busy,

For time is borrowed and it's your court

I hope to gain, as for my victory,

I lay down the weapon I have crafted.

Thus begin those plans which I have drafted.
