The Alchemy of Non-being (7/3/16)

What could a scorpion do to one who drinks Your sherbet?

How could poison affect me when I have reached Your sugar lips?

You are the alchemy of Non-being.

How lucky is that man who is maturing in Your fire.

Love Murmurs (3/27/16)
Love Murmurs (3/27/16)

There is nothing remaining in my ears but Love’s murmur.

There is nothing remaining in my soul  – no reason, no thought – only the sweetness of Eternity.

The colorless brush of Love has mixed all colors;
