An Ode To Love Poem by Matloob Bokhari

AN ODE TO LOVE
Love resides in the temple of a loving heart,
Both live together in a room, very small,
Eat, drink, dance, play and pray.
Like birds, lilies, sing prayer in silence calm.
When divine romance starts, light shines,
Soul bathes in love, spiritual discourses start.
When fiery desire of love illumines the shrine,
Dressed up in a beggar's rags, lover sings with stars.
No one can slay love, none can burn love,
No one can drown love, none can destroy love.
O love! Birds with broken wings cannot understand you.
O dream! Wanderers of barren fields don't know you.
O soul! Kissing lips touch and depart,
Lovers' names remain on eternal lips by far!
