To my dearest



Oh my dearest! for the sake of love
Tell me this one thing if that's enough

Has any being ever tasted such pain
Whose endurance bared the soul away

Sufferings which made two worlds collide
A torment so sweet, made us all blind

Now my dearest, I ask you again,
To let us be one for sake of this shame

Now let us be one with desire, let us drown
In haunting seas you admire

There — I shall offer you my heart, behold!
And you’ll ask me to hold your sins instead

Oh my dearest! Now we've crossed the seas,
Will you still call it love between you and me?

For love is such a tender word, desiring a
ritual so vicious, which makes us one.

About this poem

A lover yearning for the sufferings and pain to end, but he soon realizes that these vile sufferings is what makes love so hauntingly beautiful.
