The Canonization

‘For God sake hold your tongue, and let me love.’ Chide my illness or the ruined fortunes, But hold your tongue to mock at my love. Take any course that you want to pursue So you will let me love my beloved. Get anything by whatever means and I disturb you not and you disturb me not. ‘Alas, alas, who’s injured by my love? ’ My sighs haven’t drowned any merchant ship. My heats in veins haven’t caused any plague. ‘Call us what you will, we are made by love’ Call us candles or flies; both die at their cost. ‘We can die by it, if not live by love.’ All shall approve us canonized for love. 30.10.2008 Based on the poem by the same title written by the famous love poet John Donne.1572-1631 ‘
