Khê Kinh Kha

b u r n i n g l o v e
 

I've given you all my burning love
   flash with flashes of fire
     scorching in my heart
       in my soul
         and in my entire life
           from now until eternity

there is no rivers
   nor waterfalls
      nor oceans
         can quench my burning love
                                                   for you

and there is no sorrow
   no ascetic
      nor suffering
         can bury my burning love
                                             for you, my Lord

because I love you
      I need you
          you are the breath of my life
          and I am drowning in your love and compassion
