As Long As I Live

a poem by Amresh Vashisht

You made love to me
Not to my body,
(You reached deep within me)
but my spirit

I heard you call my name
Not like you sound
Your voice so dim and deep
Like a Nightingale

You touched me that I may feel
All your splendor
You brought me sweet relief
From all my tension

Your love is all I need
Every day and night
From no one will I receive
True love like this

My life, my everything
To you I give
Greater love will be my reward
As long as I live
