I Searched For Long Poem by Jayita Bhattacharjee

I Searched For Long

Rating: 5.0


In the temple of my heart,
Burns a lamp;
In the depths of my soul,
Are the flames of longing, so deep.
For long, I wandered in search of treasures,
For long, was veiled the pearl of night.
Here and there, I roamed futile,
in search of an essence.
In ignorance, I wondered,
'Where is the bunch of blossoms? '
Only to find the garden in my soul.

Though heavy was the gloom,
Now, dissolves into light,
For I find myself garlanded with flowers.
Blazes of heart-melted longings,
There I sense in the deep sea,
Hidden in my soul
Where the flickering candle wick
Now burns bright.

Torn is the veil and now I see
The lighted world.
In the dark, I wandered far too long,
Only to find the morning in my soul.
These eyes of mine have wept till dawn,
Only to find the light in my soul.
These lips of mine have thirsted for long,
Only to find the ocean in my soul.

A homeless I was, in search of a home,
And there I entered the house of treasures,

Emerges a soaring of perfumed incense of longing, To bow at the altar of thy immortality; This is really mystical dear Jayitha

excellent writings on the self discovery touchingly enjoyed- Ages of our ignorance dissolve in thy light, Awakening from the slumbers of pain, I find myself garlanded with blessings; //// i think this poem is one of your best introspective writings

Our sacred prayers are glistening in the presence of thy Omnipotent vision, As God's love embraces humanity and speaks the one holy language, Language of the flowering heart..devotion, prayer, omnipotence, a secret cave inside me where i prostrate and adore the God Almighty. lovely poem. astonished by your tremendous faith..... thank u dear poetess. tony
