I Dedicate Myself Poem by malini kadir

I have my earthy self
Into an earthen lantern turned;
Added all my emotions of love itself
Into oil slipped to let heat......
As my soul become a wick
and incandescent burns
I worship thee
My beloved God;
Lord of my world
The crowned king,
Of my ethereal world
Where I my love for thee
In my words register feebly
Insignificant and humble
Lay myself
On this ridgy pillow
loving you as a pining willow
letting you crush my emotions
On the grind of virtue
To perish in the flames of commitment
Still unerring at the cathedral doors
To light myself with willing muse as candle
Knowing, your ever loving heart shall
One day forgive me;
For if it were not a written destiny's code
Would life have made me bleed?
Let my heart incandescent burn
Night and day in earnest quest?
Would you so stoic of heart and will
Turn away my petulant self
To laugh at me with your friends?
Can this earth have further pains to deliver
Or this earth more angst blown in my way
Perhaps I deserve it all
Or else would you have not protected?
Stopped me from self destruction?
It was meant to be
and so this red glow in this dark
A solo lamp left to burn
Perhaps to in absence of electricity
Your very face in my eyes reflected see......
