You Are My Heaven Poem by Arun Maji

My heart starving your presence
Soul crying your name
Can you hear them o love
Can you hear them?

When I sit on couch and close my eyes
I see you smiling.
When I fall asleep
I wake up to your dream.

Dream! What a heavenly dream!
You look at me with your kind eyes,
Healing smile, flowery lips.

Yes, my dear. You the goddess of earth,
The rival of heavenly angels,
The aura of Jupiter's ring-
Look at me.
Me. Yes, me. The humble me.

As if you are there just to
Heal me, rescue me
From pains and wounds of earthly life.
As if you are there to lift me
From mortal desire to heavenly nectar.

I would never chant hymns
To reach heaven.
I would rather invite you in my dream
And have my heaven
Right on this earth.
