Existence Without You Poem by Arun Maji

Without you, all is so dark;
dark is vast withering space
dark is painfully dying time
dark is my pale, putrefying soul.

You are my only light;
light that shines and breathes air;
sings a song and dances like a river,

Only you are brighter than yourself,
more beautiful than yourself.
Without you, nothing exists, nothing—
this sky, this river, this mountain
this earth, this planet— none of them.
You are that light; through which I see them.

Every drop of your love makes a sea of serenity
every whisper of your heart makes a song of sea
every sparkle of your smile makes a star and galaxy.
Without you, nothing exists, nothing—
neither rainbow, nor light
neither song, nor life
neither space, nor eternity.

Without you, all is so dark
so painfully, utterly dark.

My love,
how would I exist without you? '
