Is Love Mere Word? Poem by Don Nguyen

Do I care for my reputation?
Do I like the praise, lavishing words
Where in Him lays all my affection
where in prayers I solemn declare my guilt?
In love, one needs no explanation
For Love will be your only reason
Not to utter empty words to convince
if one needs words to display love
One has diluted love to mere words
while her soul and heart ought to be love
so that love is not just four-letter word
but the whole world or rather highest heaven
the sacred dwelling, the secret repose
Soul shares her heart with her betrothed
Senselessly immerses her wholeness into her flower meadow
