Your Tender Image Settled Ever In My Heart Poem by AFFAQ NABI

When first time your image in my heart I drew,
'Twas with new hopes our paths would intertwine,
In dreams, where'er your steps may go I knew,
My heart would follow, bound by the divine
Love, as your eyelids lift, my soul lies in your gaze,
Your light shall guide me on my journey's way;
With candles lit, to brighten nights and days,
My shadow's there, by you it shall ever stay.
Since that sweet moment you took your place,
Within my bosom's cherished, sacred space.
It seems all the universe is in our trace,
Ah, a festival of joy within, upon face.
Thanks to that day when love did first impart,
Your tender image settled ever in my heart.
