SIKLAB (FIRE WITHIN), A poem for Susan Li



SIKLAB (FIRE WITHIN)
A Poem for Susan Li

Like a ferocious but majestic thundering, my heart beats;
Like The Abyss, There is no searching
Like the vast, starry skies; None can fathom
Like a river, soothing, nurturing and healing my tiresome, wounded soul

What are the mysteries of a man's heart?
What is the riddle that unlocks?
Yea, only the Epiphany of the Divine
Can we discern and know and fathom and truly understand

What are the depths?
What are the crags?
What is the Mystery?
What are the nooks and crannies?
It lies in The Divine
It is the Power that conquers All Things
It can mend, it can heal, it is The Answer...

As a warrior shall I be,
Winning battles as Champion
and offering my scars upon thine bosom
Thine Love shall fulfill all my deepest longings... It shall exceed all my wondrous aspirations
Our love shall be the Fuel and our romance shall bind our hearts as we Further the cause of The Light;

Next to the Divine, Thou art my most cherished possession,
Thou art my song
My every heartbeat
My every thirsting
My every longing
My every lovely Dream

Even mine dreams and  mine imagination's sojourns always lead me back Home
We shall dance by the soft cooing of birds that fly about happily
We shall conquer mountaintops
We shall conquer Ourselves
We shall Abide
We Shall Believe
We shall Love

Love is The Healer
She is our heroine
She is always Victor
She always Prevails because she is Hope;
She is Able to vanquish and shatter
Even the mightiest thrones and strongholds  and she can Conquer
The seeming insurmountable
For her hands, are as fiery, strong and sure

Now we rejoice and sing the hymnals
Of her praisings
And we thank God for this romance
The greatest gift, apart from Life Eternal
And all  Hidden Treasures from the Great Beyond and Unknown

And I pray that she continues, as a Nightingale, to sings her songs  that lull me into quiet.  Songs that make my heart skip for a moment.. songs that consoles my heart, assuring me Never to fear any longer, For in her strength, mine Faith is made sure and mine Victory is certain, beyond reproach, beyond any reproof.

Mine tears are cast out, for thou healed me by thine Love
Mine loneliness, turned to sweet wine, as a cup, filled to brimming, filled to overflowing; it Cascades happily, like happy little rain falling from lovely, caring skies

My heart has been made as brave as a young lion and my being was restored as a gentle dove
Your joyous musings and gentle singings pacified and soothed my wanderlust Soul
Thou art the most beautiful gift, the testament of The Almighty's grandest love, benevolence and fervor, like the rarest of all gems, adorning the crown of my heart and the throne of my Soul

There shall be no more tears
Every hungered heart shall be filled with the most comforting warmth and quiet... The days shall be flooded with an indescribable peace and laughter
And all our hearts shall rejoice in the birth of a newborn
And each moment is purely Heavensent;
Every second is a nurturing, happy tear that paints
The vastness, the warmth and the love that fills the womb of this Great and Pregnant Universe echoing all beauty, bridging time and space connecting one with all

And all that wafts are songs of cooing infants,  like chimes by the wind breathing joy, merriment and gaity
Her laughter eases,  calms and cures
And her Prayers, like a fire within,
Burning as embers illuminating my path and guiding my soul..
Forever bound by God
Forever abiding by Love
Forever abiding by Truth
Forever bound by Light

About this poem

As blood flows into my being, out gushes an electrifying song, screaming at the ends of the Earth, a love that is untamed, a passion unbridled and a fiery yearning to conquer and win Her love, beyond the edges and margins of Forevermore... A romantic poem dedicated to the one who electrifies and shatters my inmost longings, my inspiration, my song, my heart, a mirror of The Light, keeper of my Soul.
