Lovers Servant

- by: Surjit Dhami

Why ask how fierce is the flame of love?
Where it burns nothing else remains nor mercy serves
When love smiles it swiftly takes away the arrogance and awakens the soul
Love shall crucify intellect and shall show no mercy to the young nor old
Wherever love resides there is no hope for ego nor hatred or pride
Love shall break the bones of the rigid and with love you shall die and abide
Love shall stone the mind with masti where then, oh mind, where shall you hide?
When love shall throw you in the ocean of devotion you will drown in every tide
Love wrestled with my thought until the metal bars of it’s devotion battered any other belief
Love threw my heart against the wall of faith, butchered my greed it’s too late to reprieve.
