"The Honeybee's Love" [rubai]

Since life in the world is a worrisome thing    at times
the path to the friend has a definite ring    at times
where the pith of existence manifests    in duality
the honeybee's love has a definite sting    at times

"Black cat in a coal bin" [rubai]

Black cat in a coal bin    in a cave at night!
Can't say how your eyes gleam     with a trace of light!
Blindness is endemic     to the world at large!
Maya though systemic     is dispelled by sight!
