You have torn me up to set me free
From beloved’s embrace, to Eternity.
You have filled the void that she had left
With pouring of nectar, that slowly crept -
And filled my heart, which I see inside
Has been lit by some magical Light
The serpent ego that entwines me
Must wriggle out and make me free
So I pray to You in reverence
As tears flow down in obeisance.
Slowly the pain of pathos has lost its way
And engulfed my heart in melodious sway;
In leaves, in stream, in stones I see -
Your form; Your presence surrounds me.
My being melts and mixes in the mist
Till I feel nothing save You amidst;
Each spore upon my tender skin
Erupts a bizarre tinge within,
Whence all at once I see You gone
And my journey has now begun.
