Beloved

Ask my fingers what they want. 
I long to touch my beloved’s face. 

Ask my mind what it thinks. 
Thoughts of my beloved – what else? 

Ask my eyes what they wish to see. 
Only my beloved’s beauty. 

Ask my soul what it fears. 
Losing my beloved. 

Ask my lips what they desire. 
The embrace of my beloved’s kiss. 

Ask my heart what it feels. 
Love. Only love. Pure love. 
Now take your questions away from here 
And leave me to love my beloved.
