"Love's Purity"
When every word is love
How is it possible
The tongue speaks deceit
When the chest heaves
Can you speak of love's purity
Redeem me
in my suffering
Vindicate me
in an unspoken covenant
Forgive my iniquity
aspiring to fly to angels
I plummet in free fall to earth
with the mighty heft of stone
Point to the new reality
Turn to me in gratitude
I am lonely
Afficted
Remorse imprisons
Release me from anguish
Look kindly upon my distress
Set my heart at rest
Let me not drop into the pit
Where lies deep shame
In you is my refuge
You protect me
In your promise is my hope
Redeem me
A lost man stumbling
Mumbling words of despair
I surrender my anguish to you
Ecstasy and joy my sole rewards
My trouble sacrificed at your feet
Dance me to the moon
And please never ask why.....

“Love’s Purity”
What is it
That has disguised me into a particle,
A very light and a tiny particle?
It’s something so far
From the weighs of distress or envies
Its something that keep my body alive
And my soul drunk and keep it dancing
With the rhythm of this moving rays in me
I’m lost in a different world
A world of beauty
It is so like
The essence of God
Like the fragrance of compassion
Like the daffodil of peace
It keep me drowning in wonders
That how can a tiny particle
Stays alive after hitting
The heaviest storms of
Deceits and envies?
What is it?
Is it a miracle?
Is it a magic?
Or is it the purity of Love
That keep me blind
From the gloomy hues of
Hatred, envy and destructions?
Whence wind of love whispers my ears
It’s the spirit and purity of Love
A particle of God
So beautiful and so light
That turns oneself into
A roaming stardust
and keeps leaving its particles
Everywhere it passes.
