First Line: It is as though we never flirted
Last Line: Wellnigh our secret was disclosing.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ibn Zaydun
Subject(s): Flirtation
It is as though we never flirted
That night, with only union near us,
When luck the prying eyes averted
Of those who sought with lies to smear us.
Two secrets in the mind of darkness
Concealed from sight, we lay reposing
Until dawn's tongue with brutal starkness
Wellnigh our secret was disclosing.
