This Is Where I Belong To Poem by kunjubi varghese

Who embellished the magnificence of the heaven

In their imagination, where milk and honey flows,

And you are surrounded by the fairies and nymphs,

Imbibing nectar that flows from goblets, held and

Served by *Apsara maidens, with lust in their eyes?

Who constituted and created hell, where fire and

Brim stones wait for you, always to burn you?

It is none other than the ingenuity of the human

Mind, fantasizing their imaginations.

Who radiates the diffusing rays of sunlight, and

Turns it into ravishing rainbows yonder, and

Who adorns the black clouds soaked in the vital

Elixir, for the living beings, in this earth?

It is none other than the deep blue horizon!


The one who unfurls the aspiration of the spring to flower;

The one who approaches and demolish those aspirations,

Known as winter, and the one who behold the embers of

Fire, in its bosom and scorch multitudes of living beings.

We call you time or moment, or era,

Age, epoch, or aeon! Infinite and eternal!

Immeasurable and independent!


In our dreams, there appear golden beaches and palaces;

And they ramshackle, in the face of bitter agony!

You are the ocean of passions, as well as

The wilderness of thirsts and intense desires!

You are my world, my abode!


* fairy nymphs of heaven
