You Are Even Worse Than Drug Poem by Arun Maji

You are even worse than drug.
More I smell your flowers
More I crave having them again.
More I drink your nectar
Thirstier and greedier I grow.
I feel like
I drink whole of your river
All at once.

Your thought is indomitable.
Your presence overwhelming
And whisper paralyzing.
The moment I see you smiling
All my goodness disappears.
A wild wolf wakes up within me
Roaring and howling in hunger.
He looks for your crispy flesh
And sweetly fragrant nectar.
He longs to jump into secret river
That is so full of your sweet nectar.

How come I would not die
With addiction of such lethal drug?
I must. And I am dying…
Little by little.
Everyday. Every moment.
I am dying
Craving your smile, your whisper,
Your flesh, your nectar.
