Discovering Source Of Love Poem by Arun Maji

Like sun
you rise in the sky of my life.

As I see golden rays of your smile-
night of sorrow disappears,
and dawn of joy dances in fervour.
As I hear your musical whisper-
cloud of my consciousness disappears,
and I see myself crystal clear.

I'm not pained anymore,
I'm not chained anymore,
I am reborn.

As you stare at me,
the heaven whispers into my ears-
o wandering soul,
if love is here to liberate you from earthly sufferings,
why you despair in darkness?
Why don't you embrace love
and free yourself from pain?

Like a child
I am driven to your embrace.

As I touch you, to my wonder,
I sense I am touching myself.
As I kiss you, to my amazement,
I experience I am kissing myself.

How come you and me just one?
If you reside within me o love,
why I seek you outside?
