Devotional Lover.................. Poem by lalitha iyer

I loved him
but I could not see him
he is here
he is there
but I cant see him anymore
and I am devoted to him

You guessed it right
yes he is the almighty right
but how could you love
and surrender to somebody
whose body is invisible
and replies in language of silence

Day after day
months after month
years after years
I was struggling
my steps uncertain
my thoughts confused
I wondered
how could I
reach upto him
who I cant hear
I cant see
I cant listen
I cant touch

My senses of five
shamed me with no signs
again and again
I cried, wept and sobbed
sleeples nights and
crazy days
when all labours
left no gifts
I sat upon the rock of Innocence
and simply lied under the sky of sense
surrendering all accepted theories
and started playing the game of kids

I stopped thinking
like a Genius
I stopped praying
like a Monk
I started laughing
like a child
simply made me happy
without any desire
I just gave up everything
with no urge my dawns and dusks
slowly the smell of God drew near
I could smell him in the simple smiles
of love-soaked looks
in the domains
where intentions dont roam
where money does not pollute
the simplicity of purity
I found him in the solitary den
where nobody stood
but he alone resides
playing with some hearts of
Surrendered lives.
