The House Of A Thousand Lanterns ____AKSHR

 The House Of A Thousand Lanterns

 

Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime, 

nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time

 

The house of a thousand lanterns

 

is the heart, and love is the light.

Without love the heart is a crematorium.

Love makes the whole world kin.

 

I saw you in your sleep, my beloved, 

lying beside me, smiling;

 I could not tell if you were awake or dreaming.

And I knew that you were mine, 

and I was yours, and that every day we live together 

is a new day for love.
