This Is How You Keep Me Alive

One day My touch would grow frail My thirst for your tender flesh would die And your sweet voice would fade. And from distant mountain Some unknown voice would call "Come, here is your ultimate abode." Until that time We have one chance To celebrate our togetherness. Celebrate this night sky Cool breeze Our warm touch. You know my love I have never had enough of your kiss. More I kiss you Thirstier I grow. This emptiness is often painful. But this is what keeps me going Amongst all pain and hopelessness. It's hard to tell you I am often agonised observing this world. Distressed, I look at your face And plant a kiss on your lips. My pain disappears. This is how You keep me alive. © Arun Maji
