Because You Are There …

An evocative love poem, by Rajashree, exclusively for Different Truths.

Here you are like warm blood
coursing through my veins,
my umpteen body
a river in spate
that flows over its shore!
 
Open me up and
you would see a pool
holding the waters of vices and
virtues galore and in that a lotus in bloom,
my faith in you forever!
 
Hear the lovelorn Lark, 
of the wee hour, how
she cries plaintively in the cold morning air!
 
But tell me Dear is this all
because you are there?
