You are my Little Prince, The Rose of my heart; The blossom of my desire- In the surrealist Vast. An epilogue to my unfinished Art. You are the elixir of life In desert longing of soul in despair,
Life toils hard Goal recedes far And hope meets despair- In an endless quest To reach higher Much above All mortal longings of sky and earth. You are the nectar of fulfilment, The sole purpose of living, The sojourn of Bliss In the infinite Supreme. You are pure and sublime. In each of my yearnings, I seek to merge in Thee, Till the 'I' in me loses identity- And makes me free In the greatest Unity Of the One Liberty. (Bijoylakshmi Das, Puri, Odisha) 23.01.2019
