Winter had dried, summer dripped away
Autumn wind sweeps fallen pieces
And in your jewel box yet are treasured
The best of your ornaments
Silver chains and bracelets
The ivory bangles and crystal drops
Rings of rubies and green stones
In golden squares
The treasure you collected
On your exile years
In the Shah's palace

Just the old cooper armlet
Given by your youthful hero
Infinity contract of other days
Josef no-more
Yet not desired, laid upon
Your make-up table
Beside the truth teller mirror
Greened, till thrown down
No grace, no remembrance
.To the trash can

Nobody knew that beyond the formal tell of Megilath Esther,
there is hidden an intimate heartrending story that was
never covered. The tragic story of Josef the youth lover of
Estherka.  His world was destroyed when he revealed that his
love mate was recruited to the services of her nation as a
mistress of a stupid king.
