Love Is Heaven

Not fruit orchards nor rivers of honey,
Nor fair angels singing in white silk,
Not even a God sitting on his throne 
But heaven for me is a glimpse of you!

Forget the harps, garden of flowers,
Some unknown destination in the sky,
Where larks sing or peacocks dance,
But heaven for me is essence of you!

From biblical times stories been told,
Of purgatory, of paradise for us all,
Punishment, reward judgement days,
But heaven for me is thought of you!

I do not much care for the after life,
As long as you reside on this earth!
Hell it is when we are away or apart,
But heaven for me is being with you!

Heavenly scents your bosom flow,
Myriad red roses blush in your smile,
Many work for a heaven after death,
But heaven for me is making love to you!

Thanks Gershon! Indeed heaven and hell are on this earth that we create and experience in our life times! The space is vast emptiness!
