You Amuse Me

 

By Ghassan Sohail

 

You amuse me 

Sometimes Your love induces me

 

Love which shows me Your light

Making me forget everything but Your might

 

Love kept higher in the hearts of saints

Love, which made Your lover fall carelessly in flames

 

Love, which keeps lovers awake

In the middle of night, just for Your sake

 

Love, which assures the heart during tests

Which even in a mess shows the best

 

But sometimes You confuse me

Then fears induce me

 

Fears that You’re not here

Making my love seem mere

 

Making doubts take gear

Making beauty seem severe

 

Then questions appear

And make my spirit smear

 

But just then I hear

Your words, and You reappear
