Fear flows like, Sweet drops on the tongue, Of enemies emboldened,

Love smells of, Soap from Nablus, Cleansing old souls,

Joy tastes of, Sweet honey in the hearts of, Optimistic fools,

Hatred resembles, A haggard old man, Bent by ancient years,

My thoughts are dancing shadows, Flitting and darting, Some beautiful, Many hideous, Monstrous fears, Meager hopes, Infinite doubts, But one grand end.
