Why Do You Dwell In My Heart

I know you love many things, You need a lot of them, Large, Broad, wide, vast, Diverse, smooth and sublime. Like every life You also need a space Boundless, like the vast expanses Of the boundless sky over the desert In the moonlit night. In my heart, A desert without you There is but Vastness of sand, loftiness of cloud, Pervasiveness of wind, Boundless earth, Wideness of vision and Fickleness of mist. The house you need To accommodate you, Whole of your desires, and All of your pains and pleasure, Is this heart with Ascent of limbs, Broadness of mind, Calmness of composure, Depth of looks, Smoothness of breath, Sublimation of soul- Without a border, a barrier, a severance, a hurdle or any obstruction The kind of space You would love to have. The magnanimity of Spacious, distant sky would clear up the Dust of annoyance At your heart. The dream in my life Will be a sand bank A couch for you To repose upon. The thread of your fantasy Will find a spool of cloud To wind around The orbit of my thoughts. The cascade of your Lofty sentiments Will attain an altitude To pour down like the Droplets of rain. And this is why you would Dwell for all eternity Within me and My heart- A holy shrine for your soul, A wide global vision for your eye, A perpetual abode for your life and, A sweet home for you as a whole.
