come on darling
pass me one more cup
bestow on my soul
tranquility once more
and do it now
today is my turn
i can wait no more
for the unknown tomorrow
if you have as my share
even a small trace of grace
give it to me now
don't make me wait
let me go free
help me to break out
from this new trap
i've fallen into again
don't hand me over
to the monster of my thoughts
my thoughts are another trap
another waiting vampire
take my only belongings
take them to the pawn shop
pledge them once more and
bring me the last cup
-- Ode (Ghazal) 1045
