Swami Adi Narayan Poems

You have stripped me bare,
And I have cleared this field of love for you.
But where are you? Where are you?
...

Locked in my heart forever, this is my sentence.
A life within myself, when you walk the earth.
Why did you come to torture me so?
You should have stayed in the heavens,
...

I stayed up all night
keeping watch for you.

I peered through each window,
...

You have come to be my mirror,
To show me all that I am.
I should hate you for the pain you have caused me.
But because I love you,
...

My Beloved, you have stripped me bare more than once in this life.

At times, you have left me near lifeless. I could not feel even my own heart beating in my chest.
...

You have turned my days to nights,
And my nights are filled with sorrow and longing.

This is my existence.
...

The seed of love you sewed lifetimes ago
Has blossomed.

Thy petals extend outwards in all directions,
...

Rip the mortal coils of love from me.
Rid me of the deep thorns of desire.

They are all distractions from My One Beloved.
...

The madness of love has struck me.
Beloveds, I am coming for you;

To sing, dance, laugh, cry
...
