THE TREE OF LOSS
So many galaxies
Me on Earth
So many tests of my love!
Wandering
Are the drifting stars
In circles spread to guide me.
Are dewdrops
Moisture of the air
Or tears pf sacrifice?
Scientists strive
Day in and day out
Yet heart and love defy them.
The three Rs
Have been unable
To compose a note of love.
Knowledge is
Defined as power
But love is more powerful.
Ask the rose
Shielded by thorns
Why it is so attractive?
Ask the seas:
The salty and sweet,
What makes them so different?
Deep beneath
Are also galaxies
Rivetting with creation.
O my love!
Let us meet there where
We can make our own Heaven.
What is life?
For you or for me;
If it is just a span of time.
Some divine
Secluded garden
Is true lovers' Paradise.
You and I
Just the two of us
Far and forgotten by all.
Yes my love,
This is the real truth
As we will find out after bliss.
With God nigh,
Smiling at us both,
There won't be need or desire.
While spending
My nights seeking you
I found the key to love's wisdom.
Lucky me
Who, unlike Khayyam,
Conspired with Him to be yours.
It's the soul
That hides the secret
The souls craving naught but love.
The facade
Of visibility
Is the veil between you and me.
This flesh form
Is the tree of loss
With irresistible fruits of lust.
