Love
Love
1.
I saw the bitter tears of unhappiness,
Running down your ravaged with pain
Dear face
And I became a sponge of compassion
To absorb them,
2.
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,
3.
I tasted the agonizing thirst of
Your dry lips,
Burning fire! Consuming your
Every single tissue,
And I became vivifying fresh water
To quench it,
4.
I smelled the presence of sickness in your
Tormented body,
Devouring your vibrant wellbeing,
And I became salutary medicine to nurse you
Back to health,
5.
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,
6.
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,
7.
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,
8.
I watched you suffering from excruciating
Solitude,
Feeling the ever depressing loneliness in
Your tormented soul,
And I became your constant caring
Companion,
9.
I noted the torture of merciless
Rejection,
Destroying your wonderful, tender
Feelings,
And I became your faithful
Loved one,
10.
I observed you struggling 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,
11.
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,
12.
I remarked 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,
13.
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,
14.
You ask me why I do all these things
For you,
The answer is very simple my
Friend:
It is because…
I LOVE YOU!
