Two souls ablaze in love's fiery decree,
They tread on ice, while I walk through flame's decree.
From defeat of feeling, some tears silently weep,
Life's a journey, and the heart, naive and deep.
What a voyage, and what a meager store,
Try to grasp my sorrows, and their lore.
To smile is easy, a surface bright,
From defeat of feeling, tears take flight.
These ice shards melt in summer's embrace,
A fragile form, a fleeting space.
One night to stay within your dwelling's frame,
Your house has doors, in life's wild game,
Yet of danger, you remain unaware,
Of peril's whisper, you do not care.
I know the threat, the lurking fear,
But my own home has no door to appear.
One night to stay within your dwelling's grace,
Not of use to me, nor this world's embrace,
A heart God gave, a mere ten grams in space.
One night to stay within your walls I yearn,
Do not let me sleep upon the roof, I turn
In sleep I wander, a wandering soul,
In stolen love, this truth takes hold,
In stolen love, this tale unfolds.
A man's plight, a wish suppressed,
And hidden love, a hidden quest,
As if to love were a sin's dark toll,
In stolen love, this truth controls.
Laughing boys, with secrets deep,
In youthful years, experience sleeps.
In stolen love, this truth takes hold,
In stolen love, this tale unfolds,
Through doors we go, or so we seem,
Through windows we emerge, a dream.
Since the wedding day, this fate we bear,
From turmeric's touch, we must forbear,
From henna's stain, a fear we hold,
Can faith be kept, as stories told?
Speak not of my ways, let silence bloom,
And I've heard they too, seek love's perfume,
Who know not of devotion's true space,
Can faith be kept, in love's embrace?
Not like clothes, the faces they may wear,
Two souls ablaze in love's fiery snare,
They tread on ice, while I walk through flame's air.
