Because I Have Seen You Poem by Arun Maji

Because I have seen you
I am not same anymore.

When I hear wind whistling
I think
You are whispering.
When I hear some footsteps in my door
I think
You are awaiting.
When I see sun-rays shinning
I think
You are smiling.

And if I look at rainbow
I see you smiling there.
If I look at moon
I see your face there.
If I smell flower
I smell fragrance of your hair.
In your presence,
Star moon river flower
They all cease to exist.

You know
You have swallowed everything.
Everything that I have.
You have swallowed my days
My nights
My dreams
My imaginations
Everything.

Tell me, you are so little
Yet, how could you swallow an infinite universe?
How come this Sun moon river
Cease to exist in your presence?

O beautiful, o my love,
Now you are my only universe.
