1. A lackluster youth whose gaze
Relays tales of angels' sorcery

2. Veiled in masks, his coverings
Clouds hiding the moon behind them

3. If beauty's meant for only a few
His is far more deserving, truly

4. The veil hides smiles so cherished
Concealing dimple and lip within

5. Lips like parted seashells
Masked beneath his guise and skin

6. As we embraced in passion
Our secret became open and plain

7. I felt his sighs against
My breath aflame like embers

8. He lowered his veil over smiles
Imbued with wine's chill and fervor

9. To protect them from drowning
In my sea of breath, wary

10. Had I power over them
I'd adorn them in pearls and scent
