love

love blooms and blossoms 
settles in the eye 
one with the 
rhythm of breathing 

words dissolve 
in their own rhythm 
as raag in words 
as words in raag 

in the face of opposition 
love has created love 
it echoes and men forget themselves 
only love remains 

as the sea remains the sea 
the earth, the earth 
the sun, the sun 
water, though becomes thirst 

i am the grain of your love 
and you the faith of my heart 
i am the harvested grain 
stored in the granary of memory 

you wish to live in me 
the beauty of love, and i
desire to drink the wondrous 
pleasure of your beauty
