Obedience Lingwati Poet ABC

Beloved

I delight to sit in her 
shade
A fruit sweet to my 
taste
Her left arm braces 
me
Her right arm 
embraces me
A paint of my heart
For i am a faint to 
her love

Show me your face
Let me hear your 
voice
Turn you eyes from 
me
For they overwhelm 
me
Your love appears  as 
dawn
Fair as the 
moon,bright as the 
sun of dawn
Majestic as the stars 
in procession
A heart of a better 
profession and 
declaration

I place you as a seal 
over my heart
Water's cannot 
quench your love
River's cannot wash 
it away
If one were to give
All the wealth of her 
life for your love
It would be utterly 
scorned

O love come this way
That they may all 
gaze on you
Come back come back 
this way
For you never left 
As the flowing blood 
streaming down my 
heart
