enraptured

O my darling Bhagwan
there’s no one
no one like You

In the playful light
of your roguish smile
Oh I die a million times

Why those almond eyes
stretch east to west
causing havoc wherever they glance

How do I hold on to this heart
when it jumps
at the very sight of You

I would delve deep
if I could tear my eyes away
from your bewitching self

Oh such beauty…it blinds me
binds me to You
like a little bird to the vast sky above

What are You to me
my parent my love
what more

With every breath this life
becomes unbearable without You
to steer my mind

Every madness ever felt
pales in comparison to the
mad love I feel for You

This sullied mind
and grudging heart
both are held captive by You

O my master
beautiful Narayana of the ocean’s blue
your love alone is true

I’ve felt it so
like a child reaching
for a parent’s cheek

A hundred blemishes
mark my soul
with your love You clean them all

No longer can I be parted from You
a few hours too seem
as if long days have passed

And all because
You smile like that
like a billion joys have entered this heart…
