Renovation of Soul

Sarosh Latif

O’the builder of love!

Unclasp my withered being into your comforting arms,

Keep me here

Colour the seeping venom of griefs into the hues of love

Save it there,

Set the stage to raise passions, new and sweet,

Build the beautiful knots up, with cement and concrete

Fill the entire abyss in, with the elixir of peace

Cast down the centuries old mud walls of despair

Erected in the ruined and razed building of my core

And replace them with lasting bricks of love and emboss.

But let the ceiling stay unlocked

So that when you descend down

On a star-studded night

To reside in this unique abode

Let the stars bear the witness

Let the winds shine and glitter

Let the skies see for themselves

That a dream paradise is born

Long awaited and yearned for.
