ALWAYS THERE

You are always there—

In every nook of my stealthy look,

In each cranny of my crazy being

In obsessive neurosis of my skin,

At the heights of my virtuous thoughts

And  at the abyss of my darkest sin;

In soul’s itching and in bees’ fling ;

Always  a new song on heart’s breezy string,

And in the wind afloat on the birds’ wing .

Hardly can I move away from you

As I’m bound to you

In my bondage and in my freedom

In company and when lonesome;

It’s no more a matter of choice

It’s your presence

That decides my emptiness or essence .
