- Kismet is a cruel mistress, yet she speaks soothing words of wisdom.
- Mate to Kismet, is Time, lord of lost memories.
- The pain is simply a necessary evil to
- help excise the unpleasantness of the break. Make yourself well.

- Good luck and peace.

-
- Breeze of the morning, at the hour thou knowest,
- The way thou knowest, and to her thou knowest,
- Of lovely secrets trusty messenger,
- I beg thee carry this dispatch for me;
- Command I may not: this is but a prayer
- Making appeal unto thy courtesy.
-
- Speak thus, when thou upon my errand goest:
- "My soul slips from my hand, so weak am I;
- Unless thou heal it by the way thou knowest,
- Balm of a certain ruby, I must die."
-
- Say further, sweetheart wind, when thus thou blowest:
- "What but thy little girdle of woven gold
- Should the firm centre of my hopes enfold ?
- Thy legendary waist doth it not hold,
- And mystic treasures which thou only knowest?"
-
- Say too: "Thy captive begs that thou bestowest
- The boon of thy swift falchion in his heart;
- As men for water thirst he to depart
- By the most speedy way of death thou knowest.
-
- "I beg thee that to no one else thou showest
- These words I send - in such a hidden way
- That none but thou may cipher what I say;
- Read them in some safe place as best thou knowest."
-
- When in her heart these words of mine tho sowest
- For Hafiz, speak in any tongue thou knowest;
- Turkish and Arabic in love are one -
- Love speaks all languages beneath the sun.

- Mate to Kismet, is Time, lord of lost memories. You will spring
- back from the loss of this 'loser' and feel healing and strength
- come from deep inside you. The pain is simply a necessary evil to
- help excise the unpleasantness of the break. Make yourself well.

- Good luck and peace.
