Swimming in the Flames of Love

Author: Shamsuddin

If on occasion
I pause to smooth
The silky luster
Of Your Precious Heart,
Would it dim?
If only briefly;
Or shine the brighter?
Knowing a kiss
Of Perfection fell;
A gift from
Perfection's keen eye,
A gentle blowing of Chaff away.

See how beautifully
Your Heart shines.
You smile,
Your heart overflows
The grin of the Enlightened Ones
Creases your gentle face with Love
And the shining
Oh, the shining!

Too and more than too Much
I must turn away
Lest we both
Incinerate:
Swimming in the flames of Love.
