Arezou (Desire)

I want Your Light.

Radiant, hot, blinding;
bring me Heaven’s beauty
in a beam of mystic fire;
let it tear through my flesh,
roar through my veins,
enrage me like the wild souls
of Layla and Majnun.

I want Your Love –
fierce, powerful
violent.

Step out of hiding,
emerge from the portal,
reach for me,
strip me naked,
kiss this being You have created;
penetrate my soul,
draw me near,
closer than earthy Lovers will ever be;
swallow my words
let rivers of paradise flow within
drown me,
take away my every gasp for air,
my every breath;
blast all of my senses
with Your infinite power.

Lift me,
cut me open,
march inside with Your torch,
set fire to everything,
to all of my misery and agony.

Make me burn forever.
