You

There is night, there is the neon light
No glittering there is in my life

There are falling rains 
There are fluctuating veins
No life there is without solitude lane

Your presence is like a rising sun
Your presence is like a shiner moon
Your presence is like a guardianship of a life
Your presence like a radiant radar of my breath

Your asking- What do I know?
My reply- I know that I know nothing except you

Love is alive wherein, I'm not a knower
But without you, love is for never comer

Since this morning
I forget the love of pigeons in own nest
It seems to me
I have no knowledge, no energy without you
I have nothing and I'm none without you

There is I'm on the stage couch of earth
But it's not true me without mural heart

On the twigs of trees, on the leaves of grasses
On the marks of steps, on the lashes of breezes
You are my birth and death, my cradle and grave
You are my stamina of life, you are surviving brave
My paradise, my peace, my day and night you are
You're My meditation, my contemplation, and my prayer

Without you how do I live?
Without you though there's no grief
All through the lateral seasons
Without you, centripetal annihilation
