Just as one sun
illuminates the entire world,
so does she illuminate
the entirety of my being.
I am as a moth caught
in the frenzy of destruction
and I fly into a burning flame
of self-doubt:
I now see that the joy of love,
at first, seems like ambrosia…
when every living cell seems to vibrate
at the highest frequency
But in the end, it is like poison:
- the universal solvent of happiness.
Just as a flaming fire
reduces wood to ashes,
so the fire of love reduces
all other considerations to dust.
Lost, in a distant cave of lonliness,
I am Oolu.
Silence was my only friend in this desolation
Until I found you.
