You cannot see the lustrous sun
Illuminating the whole universe
With those sightless eyes of yours,
For you it is as dark as the womb
You cannot see the lovely rose
In the multicolored garden of earth
With those sightless eyes of yours,
For you it is just another vegetation
You cannot see the majestic river
And its divine flow towards the sea
With those sightless eyes of yours,
For you it is just the torrent of water
You cannot see the charming birds
Entrancing the sky with their waltz
With those sightless eyes of yours
For you they are just a mere illusion
And…
You cannot see me
With those sightless eyes of yours
But how can you perceive
That you love me, without seeing me
And if I were you, and you were me
Would you still have loved me?
Listen…
Yes, I cannot see the Sun
But yet I perceive it
For I sense it with its warmth
And not by its illumination
Yes, I cannot see the rose
But yet I perceive it
For I sense it with its fragrance
And not by its subsistence
Yes, I cannot see the river
But yet I perceive it
For I sense it with its murmur
And not by its course
Yes, I cannot see the birds
But yet I perceive them
For I sense them with their cadence
And not by their swirling ballets
Yes, I cannot see you
But yet I perceive my love for you
For I sense you with my heart
That was made to love you and only you
Listen further….
If seeing is believing
Then god is hoax
Because we haven’t seen god
But still we have intrinsic faith in him
Because seeing is only believing
But feeling is understanding
And we sense that there is god
Not only in the heaven
But all around us in the form of love
Yes…
I cannot see your pulchritude
Yet, I am in love with you
Without seeing your appearance
For love is not light
Love is the source of light
And it is its unseen power,
Which makes itself felt
Though I do not glimpse it
I perceive it through my heart
Because seeing is only believing
But feeling is knowing and understanding
Forever keep this is mind….
We are alive because of god
But we are living because of love
And there is no “Heaven” and no “Hell”
If there is anything, there is castle of love
And as the snow melts in the sunshine
Desolation melts upon the dawn of love
And it is love that sustains us and transcends
Our life with its interminable warmth

Brilliant work, full of lyricism and poignantly heartfelt exploration of the existential elements of being. And may I note your talent is light years beyond the the label of neophyte that you claim for your
self in your bio.
