One Grain Of Love Poem by Edmund Calleja

One Grain Of Love



One grain of Love was all
I asked for
And not the Reapers of Sorrow and Joy

The song-bird in my bosom
I set free
To pluck the chords of my beloved's harp.

As the firmament of glitterring stars
I roamed
In mystic robes of ascetic abandonmnet.

By the ebb and flow of the sea
I loitered
in forlorn melancholy reveries.

As the emptiness of my heart
I lamented
By the altar of my offerrings.

In the solitary pilgrimage of my endearment
I dreamt
Of a blossoming amorous troubadour.

As the pearl in my heart
I polished
With ivory and ebony longings.

One grain of Love was all
I yearned for
and not the Loom of Life and Death.
