Drowned In Your Sea Poem by Arun Maji

without you
I anguish in dungeon of despair.
but if you stare
a light lightens shadow in my soul.
if you smile
hope sings with smile of my soul.
if you walk
river dances with music of my heart.

you are like rays of hope
that lights up my soul.
you are like panacea
that heals my pain.
you are like soothing song
that nurses my wound.

while looking at your eyes,
if I wrap my arms around your waist,
and dance;
I feel like I am the king
in possession of all wealth of this world.
a sense of fulfillment,
a sense of divine joy fill my heart.

nothing is more warm
than touch of yours.
nothing is more soft
than flowers in your breasts.
nothing is more sweet
than honey in your lips.

if I get to drink you honey
I never feel thirsty or hungry.
if I get to listen to your whisper
I never have to listen to music.
if I get to watch you smiling
I never have to see flower flourishing.
if I get to caress your bosom
I never have to feel a lotus.

o my love,
I am so captured in your divinity
so absorbed in your eyes
so drowned in your sea,
that I cease to exist without you.
