You had a beautiful voice

when you spake through the eyes

a caged bird yearning to touch the skies

and my condition was the same

yet my eyelids were the curtains of shame

and they shall always be

they make me ,me

and let your beauty remain

you held me from inside

from great depths

you took me to the heights

all storms calmed

when you made me feel alright

gates of my heart had been

guarded with heavy locks

you came in

a sweet water spring

washing the hardness off the rock

with God fearing caution

looking out looking within

so skimmed seagulls

the surface of love’s potion

despite everything a notion

of having lost

what was mine

what could be yours

what is the cause

in corridors of love yesterday

we knew never again

shall we walk this way

so near yet so far

so far yet so close

coming out from separate doors

into love’s common corridor

When come the drizzling rains

Thunder draws tears of emotion

You a river, flow in the distant plans

Storms rage in the depths of an ocean

two lonely ships

met this way one day

now in the vast sea

moving away

On the road of hope that ends nowhere

I wander hoping to find you there

At each bend the empty road weeps

Come find her here, sweetly says sleep.

This feeling learns slowly to be

The swishing wind

In the heart of a walled country

And when it blows

Only God knows

What it does

To my heart and me.

Silk drapes fluttering

in a dry hedge of thorn

so is sweet memory

to a heart lovelorn

the light of love

with the scent of the One

who created light and love

and brings the morning bright

after each seemingly endless night

Give Him a corner in your soul

And the Sublime truth shall flow

as subtly as poetry flows into reality.
