In Love that Long
am here, this moment, inside the beauty,
the gift God has given,
our love:
this gold and circular sign
means we are free of any duty:
out of eternity
I turn my face to you, and into
eternity:
we have been in
love that long.

I am beyond the chain of eternity
as a moment .
that exists as bliss of devotion
in every heart , on every face
your stubborn Ego
searched me in narrow pages of Knowledge
and the wisdom was inside your ignorance
