If... You'Ll Understand... Poem by Suraj Samtani

If I were to pluck a flower from these roots of Earth,

It will never match the beauty of you.


If I were to stare at a scene as scenic as this,

It will never satisfy my eyes as much as staring at you.


If I were to ask for one thing in my prayer,

It will be never greater than the blessing of your presence.


If I were to meet someone as beautiful as you,

It will never delude me of your essence.


If I were to follow the steps of my every inspiration,

It will always guide me to be your faithful shadow.


If I were to leave this body and float back into nothingness,

It will only happen with your approved consent.


If I were to watch you from above and smile,

It will be your sign, to live life to the fullest.


If I were to come back, in your memories,

It will only be your inner self, desperate for its long-deprived oxygen.


If I were to get reborn,

It will only be to have that special reunion, just with you.


If I were to integrate with the infinite, and become part of the nothingness,

It would finally symbolise your complete achievement of enlightenment, love and power.

Congratulations!
