Rania

Before you turned to me, and carried me with your bite, i knew what it was to be free, what gave you that legitimacy, on love i thought was right, the fire you released, ships fanned for their speed, whispered sails at night, you were my every need, in a sunlit garden at Thebes, a power beyond my sight, you left me solitary, three days i wept inside, whole cities heard me cry, knowing my song denied, wailed out our island creed, don't spare me your delight, like a broken scream, the furies in my smile.
