You Have Swallowed Me Poem by Arun Maji

I am insane
Intoxicated with your love.
My thought dances from one end
To other.

Sometimes I feel
You are in my embrace
And I am kissing you.
Softly.
Then wildly.
And you are closing your eyes
Being fulfilled with gift of love
That I give you.

And sometimes
I stretch my arms
To hold you in my arms
But I do not find you there.
My arms embrace piercing emptiness.
Then my heart throbs
Soul screams.

I am falling apart both within
And outside.
My joy and sorrow
Dances like light and shadow.
And I cannot stop myself
Thinking you
Dreaming you.

You are always there with me.
As if you are a curtain
In front of my eyes
Covering every being and thing of this universe
Except your smile.

And I wonder
If you are so little
How could you hide an entire universe?
How could you make this universe non existent
With your existence?

Am I living?
I do not know.
What I know is
I am dissolved in your existence
And no matter how much I fight
I cannot separate myself from you.

You have swallowed me o love
You have swallowed me.
