O Beautiful Love Poem by Arun Maji

O beautiful
I have seen your beauty
I seek no beauty any more.
Why should I seek a LAKE
when I am surrounded by endless sea?

I have seen your smile in golden rays of setting sun,
no other smile satisfies me any more.
I have smelt your fragrance in flourishing flower,
I seek no fragrance any more.

I have drunk so much of honey from your breasts,
I have become soft and sweet.
I can't be loud, I can't be rude, I can't be cruel.

Long ago, there was someone called "I".
That "I" is not alive any more.
You have killed him with your tender touch, and grew a universe within him.
Now every being and thing of this universe is close to his heart.
You have turned his tiny existence into an infinite existence.

I was so blind, I didn't see your exquisite beauty then.
I was so deaf, I didn't hear your musical whisper then.
I was so ignorant, I didn't realize your endless mercy then.

O Kind
you are so full of compassion.
You have turned a grieving man into a happy joyful man.

O beautiful love, I am so blessed,
I am so blessed to have your mercy!
