Love Poems No. 27 : GIVE ME COURAGE

GIVE ME COURAGE

When spite filled hearts pour out their spleen,
When hiding wolves hasten out of their holes,
When smiling villains draw their daggers in the dark,
Give me courage still not to falter.


When intimate camps flock with my enemies
And enjoy a secret rasa in some jealous corner,
When loved ones throw me away as a used toy,
Give me courage to go till Thou pronounce “come”

When the road seems to end at a dark unexpected turn
And spirits unusually fail to jump into the unseen,
When Satan beckons me to follow Judas to the unknown,
Give me courage still not to surrender in fear.

Dr. Karickam
