My sobriety lies in my intoxication with love for the one I love.
I wake from my intoxication into the passion of the one I love
A beloved whose nearness showed me my distance from him.
A beloved who shows me that when he's far, he's near

His image portrays him in sleep.
He plays his image in my dreams
And in my allotted share, portraying him through a likeness has proved difficult.
And in my fate he has excelled in being unmatched
