Heavenwards Poem by ritty patnaik

dont make me so mad,
over your love,
i feel scared.
like it might be
the last flicker
of the lamp.
before going out.

the result of
all this madness
a passionate high
brings me so close to you
i forget the shape
of my own body.

i know, in your life of love
i only reign,
in the throne of your heart,
i am coronated and secure,
still, dont make me so dear
as i fear, if this is not the end!

in your eyes i have seen,
rivers, mountains forest
and sea.
in your body,
the warmth of darkness,
measured the heat.

every night designed by you,
with passion,
dont burn me with the fire of love.

yet with my breath,
will burn,
the greenery of night,
and the cool moon beams.

salvation is not very far,
from you love,
the road to the temple
is not very far.
from your heart
i can see the ladder to heaven,
all i ask for, is there.
