desire

a lover knows only humility
he has no choice
he steals into your alley at night
he has no choice
he longs to kiss every lock of your hair
dont fret
he has no choice
in his frenzied love for you
he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment
he has no choice

a lover asked his beloved
do you love yourself more than you love me
beloved replied
i have died to myself
and i live for you
i have disappeared from myself
and my attributes
i am present only for you
i have forgotten all my learnings
but from knowing you i have become a scholar
i have lost all my strength
but from your power i am able
i love myself
i love you
i love you
i love myself

i am your lover
come to my side
i will open the gate to your love
come settle with me
let us be neighbours to the stars
you have been hiding so long
endlessly drifting in the sea of my love
even so
you have always been connected to me
concealed
revealed
in the known
in the un manifest
i am life itself
you have been a prisoner of a little pond
i am the ocean and its turbulent flood
come merge with me
leave this world of ignorance
be with me
i will open the gate to your love

i desire you more than food or drink
my body
my senses
my mind
hunger for your taste
i can sense your presense in my heart
although you belong to all the world
i will wait for the silent passion
for one gesture
one glance
from you
