From thine own beauty's radiant sun doth light flow;
How lustrously doth now the crystal glass show!
Thy friend's the beaker, and the cup's thy comrade;
Like to the dregs why dost thou me aside throw?
Hearts longing for thy beauty can resist not;
Hold, none can bear the dazzling vision's bright glow!
United now the lover, and now parted;
This world is sometimes pleasure and sometimes woe.
Bound in the spell of thy locks' chain is Baqi,
Mad he, my Liege, and to the mad they grace show.

I can honestly relate to this one much better than I could your last one but then again it's not my style Baqi,
And I'm not afraid to admit that I like it though,
Keep it up Baqi-Michael Juneau a.k.a. William -
I think this is the first work I have seen of Baqi - and I must admit I'm totally unfamiliar with this poet's work. (or am I confused? - the author here and the author on the feature list don't seem to match). This was rather nice, and though I'm not familiar with this form (looks almost like a Sonnet lacking the final two lines!) and it seems not all the lines have the same meter - but it was enjoyable to read, nevertheless.
