I do not look at the ripe mangoes <br />because I have looked at you. <br /> <br />I do not listen to the songs of cuckoos <br />because I have listened to your voice. <br /> <br />I do not want to see the depth of oceans <br />because I have seen your heart. <br /> <br />I do not want to explore the sky <br />because I have explored your eyes. <br /> <br />I do not want to conquer any land like Alexander <br />because I have conquered you. <br /> <br />The whole universe I find in you. <br />That is why, I do not go anywhere <br />leaving you alone.<br /><br />Sayeed Abubakar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-lorena/
