a little flame of love

I will care about my love,
What is it?
A little, fragile flame
of a Diya,
so beautiful, so lovely,
like a little gift from
God, alighted like a flower
in my heart,
Oh! How will it survive
the ruthless winds of passion,
and storms of jealousy!
It will, it will,
I will be vigilant, caring day
and night, for the little flame,
I cannot let it go out,
for it is all that I have....
