“Woman is the light of God”

“Woman is the light of God” 

By seeking a woman

I seek God

By loving a woman

I love God

This is what we say

When God lets us into heaven

To take a sip

A sip of heaven, on earth.

A woman is the light of God

The light that radiates

The light that satiates

How could I live without a woman?

Shall I die without bliss?

Shall I live without peace?

My Lover

I see love
in my lover's eyes -
she, the soul
of my soul
she, the rib
of my rib.

I see certainty
in my lover's eyes -
she, the flesh
of my flesh
she, the core
of my core.

I see God
in my lover's eyes -
she, the faith
of my fate
she, the heart
of my heart.
