" TEMPLE "

I built a temple
With best stones
Available and
Made it look
Wonderful by
Intricate carvings!

I thought you will
Definitely come there
To stay!
But alas! I was wrong.
I never saw you there.

I built a temple
Inside my heart
With a strong foundation
Of love and devotion
And patiently waited
For you there.
To my delight,
I saw you there
Seated on the throne
Of my heart
With your mesmerising smile
And I felt a blissful joy
Inside me.

Now, I am very happy to have
Built a real temple within me
Wherein I can love you
Without any inhibitions
And I have the freedom
To deny also.

Oh my beloved Lord,
Thank you
For enabling me to
Translate your language
Of silence and
Through that
I know myself.
