Don’t take this writing quill,
Oh, lamb!
There are no separating
Differences between us!
This is the holy altar of love!
Squeeze your eyes and
Look at love with love
Again!

“Who did you ask at the door?”
“Your loving
Servant,” I said!
“Why have you come?”
You asked.
“I came to worship your feet.”
“How long will you wait for me?”
You asked!
“Until I take another birth” I replied!

++++++++++++

We talked and rejoiced at the door.
I felt proud that love was sublime!
But I would lose
This joyful gift of the world I enjoyed!
“Evidence is needed for all this”
You urged!
“Is it weighing my tears as I yearn?”

+++++++++++

“On what basis did you come?”
You called out!
“The imagination you gave justified it.”
“What is your goal?”
You asked me.
“A friendship between two people”
I replied!
“What do you expect from me?”
You asked.
“Love, the affection,” I recited.
