Notes About The Poem
" COMPASSION " MY PHOTO, ©
Because I Love You
I saw the bitter tears of unhappiness
Running down your agonizing face,
Ravaged with pain,
And I became a sponge of compassion
To absorb them.
I heard the howling
Of your starving stomach,
Echoing throughout your rebellious drained veins,
And I became a sweet loaf of bread
To feed you.
I tasted the torturous thirst
Of your dry lips,
Burning fire, consuming your every single tissue,
And I became the vivifying fresh water
To quench it.
I sensed the presence of sickness
In your tormented body,
Devouring your vibrant well-being,
And I became salutary medicine to nurse you
Back to health.
I felt the terror
In your trembling gracious heart,
Scaring away your lofty humane virtues,
And I became fortifying courage to obliterate
Your distressful fears.
I found you lost in the darkness
Of joyless desperation,
Walking towards the abominable cliffs of self-distraction,
And I became a bright ray of hope to guide you
To self-realization.
I discovered you shivering
in the middle of savage winter,
Wandering around without a roof over your frozen head,
And I became a shelter of warmth to protect you
From merciless cold.
I watched you suffering
from excruciating solitude,
Feeling the ever depressing loneliness in your tormented soul,
And I became your constant
Caring companion.
I noted the torture
Of merciless rejection,
Destroying your wonderful, tender feelings,
And I became
Your faithful loved one.
I observed you struggle
In the rough sea of life, fighting your way,
Over the ominous waves of human malice,
And I became a solid boat of charity
To bring you on the serene shore.
I witnessed your efforts
To climb the mountains of desirable success,
Struggling, hopelessly, up the steep path of attainment,
And I became a firm ladder of mercy
To help you reach the very top.
I discerned you fighting against your brutal enemies
Trying to overcome their beastly power,
With your bare hands,
And I became a heavy sword of justice
To make you victorious.
I perceived the sharp arrow
Of relentless death,
Heading towards your loving, caring heart,
And I became a shield of concern
To save your precious life.
You ask me why I do all these things for you...
The answer is very simple my friend:
It is because
I LOVE YOU!
