The Musk Poem by Sanjib Saha

I touch the surface of earth,
The soul
Penetrates the soil,
The life!
I turn my sense in the
Delightful light,
I born,
I walk.
I move from space to space,
I want a face,
I want to be
A picture of humanity;
I inspire a lungful air-
A rhythm of love,
Step by step,
I move,
I saw a million steps.
But I want to search
The focus of your eye,
A bright face,
Not a musk.
Thousands of musk,
Millions of musk,
Encircle me,
Surround me,
Cover me and
My love.
