I love my soul





May the body be dust and
All desires go without fulfill
May the Glow of feathers be lost and
All the figures drawn by unseen
Be laid on the death –bed
Tomorrow may stand shrugging
Its shoulderbefore the helpless today
May the dark webs of time cordon me
I shall stand alone with all my heart beat
To count the stars
To talk to the moon
To listen to the call of the ocean
Keeping my thoughts young
With the approval of serene silence
 Keeping away the tears
 Of clinical death and fears
 Bellows full of hatred
Putting nail to the mortal remains
I shall listen to the call of heaven
 Because I love my soul, like insane
