Burn-in love

If you want to know god, burn-in love.
Let the flames of your lover go deep in your skin,
Let it fuel and drive you mad, let it create havoc,
Let people think you have gone insane, it's their
business, and none of yours to conduct.
All you do is watch yourself, carefully, how slowly
The fire melts your bones, your ribs, and the cage of your being.
Let it lit the place from where you desire your lover.
Bear the pain. Don't lose hope, and don't give up praying.
When it all falls down, and the whole of you is turned into ashes,
We will meet in our nakedness of truth.
