The power of love
...I always felt empty and as nothing before.
I always filled my heart with reasons to abhor.

I knew less about love, therefore,
I’d spend days downpour...

Baha'i temple and a raincoat
...The overpouring raindrops, the incessant rain outside was telling me continuously,
She was a story to nay sayer

Thumping heart beats vexed closer to danger…
Drinking in downpouring tears and cries.
