I lived all this while on earthly food <br />Forgetting the fruits and plants of paradise <br />Thou came upon me to change my sense habitue <br />I realize above the mortal pleasure in surprise <br /> <br />The divine thought and sight are an ecstasy <br />A soul stirring sweetness in its intensity <br />Made me open my eyes that were close <br />To smell the crimson marvel of the rose <br /> <br />Heart is pounding in its invading frill <br />The thought of god holding me is a thrill <br />Feeling his touch and the bliss is infinite <br />A glorious moment of happy delight <br /> <br />Inside me rapture’s a sacred desire <br />That rises like a wild forest fire <br />The pure passionate realization of thyself <br />A new virgin radiance born amidst this self<br /><br />Umasree Raghunath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pleasures-of-paradise/
