DIVINE TATTOO
Hari!
I have tattooed your
name on my tongue
in bright hues
now my words and
Love songs
are embroidered with You
I open my mouth
heaven breathes
a host of angels
fly out
when I throw kisses
the whirlwind wheels and reels
in giddy circles
Om Darling God
were I rendered mute
and dumb
the Power and Beauty
of your illustrious name
would never abandon
these adoring lips
