I Have Only My Prayers

I have only my Love
fuel of my heart
a remedy for my mind
winging towards a full Life
taming dormant dreams into verity.

I have only my Faith
nourishing my spirit
a wealth of convictions, a merit
an unseen growing strength
a sweet contentment in despair.

I have only my prayers
an utter submission
a body into oblivion
a soul melting
errant but ascending.

I have only my words
to rhyme with the tone of my heart
and seek a healing
as my soul shakes souls
via verses that do not rhyme.

Anil Deo Date: 5/31/2020 1:53:00 AM Only "love,' "faith," "prayers," and "words," are TREASURE CHESTS. I agree with V. Raven, dear Besma. You write English as if you learned it as a child; congratulations. Though your name suggests your native language is Arabic (as is my wife, Hind's). Mabrook wa Salaam. Anil DEO Login to Reply Besma Riabi Dziri Date: 5/31/2020 4:24:00 AM My mother tongue is Arabic.. my second language is French.. my foreign language is English of which I am so fond! But I do believe in the language of the soul.. the mind.. the heart.. and lucky are those who do know how to decrypt its codes.. to touch a heart.. to read a mind.. to feel a soul.. is a blessing, a gift from God to beautiful souls.. thank you so much, Anil, for your great feedback and praise! So pleased and humbled! My deepest regards and blessings. Salem!
