The omnipresent

A Poem by Rounak Jain

I read the first two lines somewhere. That made me write further.

I just want your voice aimed at me.

I want to absorb the direction of your eyes.

And so I focus on your voice,

I seek for your eyes.

I close my eyes. I pray.

They say there is one heaven

and there is one hell.

Curious, from land to land I sailed.

I stumbled upon you, I realized heaven.

With your absence, I burn in hell.

To go back to heaven,

I fall on my knees. I pray.

They say god exists.

and they say god loves you unconditionally.

To test this, I wandered.

In the mosque, the temple and the church.

When I stared at those gods,

I saw a pretty face smiling back at me.

To be with my god again. I pray.

They say that god is omnipresent.

The beauty of the nature outside,

The beautiful memories engraved deep inside

all are a reminder of your presence.

For your omnipresence, for this epiphany

Blissfully, gratefully, thankfully, I pray.

Did not make it intense. Suggestions are most welcome.

Lovely write up! Praying for that beloved one, finding the pleasure of heaven in her presence and remorse of hell in her absence, looking out for god and find yourself mesmerised by her enchanted face..beautiful work :)
