Agape Poem by Minerva Agriam

Pure Love inspired and motivated me;
This pure Love surpasses all meanings
Limits, time, knowledge, wisdom or reasons.
It penetrates beyond times and space
For It is eternal.

This Love makes my very own heart
And soul to seek, long and hunger
For Its Pureness alone.
No one and no other can satiate
My poor wanting heart but
Its fullness alone.

I am bewitched by Its goodness!
I am at peace by Its pleasures!
I am inflamed by Its desires!
Oh, how I wished that Its burning flames
Which transforms everything into goodness
Will come down at once!

To burn up all in me that which hinders me
From uniting to Him Who is Pure Love.
Then finding in me the poorest and littlest;
The pleasure to keep Its transforming
Flames of Love a good and comfortable dwelling.
Oh, Love, You are my Pure Love!
