If You Are Not Deaf...

I don't know whether the deity of deities 

will come out of  his  sanctum sanctorum or not

but I have come my Lord

all the way just for a glance,

I have nothing to ask for

you have filled with many a treasure

of daily void and routine pleasure.

I don't ask for your gem studded throne

your pleasure palaces or tall chariots

I have no need for earthly toys,

if you wish redeem my mortality with love.

I sulked, waited for your call

love is the motion of my mind and soul

love is that I need all

without which I am a body machine.

If you can -

take me with your stumps

and wear me in your heart:

I'll return to my  hole,

If you reject me I'll wait

and wait till you merge me in you

for the celebration of love's glory.

End my wait lord, grant me Love

Love is my breath and being

for that is what your creation is.
