Desire - Deepak Chopra, Adam Plack

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice

He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice

He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don’t fret

He has no choice

In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment

He has no choice

A lover asked his beloved:

Do you love yourself more than you love me?

Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you

I’ve disappeared from myself and my attributes

I am present only for you

I’ve forgotten all my learnings

But from knowing you I’ve become a scholar

I’ve lost all my strength, but from your power I am able

I love myself… I love you

I love you… I love myself

I am your lover, come to my side

I will open the gate to your love

Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars

You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love

Even so, you have always been connected to me

Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest

I am life itself

You have been a prisoner of a little pond

I am the ocean and its turbulent flood

Come merge with me

Leave this world of ignorance

Be with me, I will open the gate to your love

I desire you more than food or drink

My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste

I can sense your presence in my heart

Although you belong to all the world

I wait with silent passïon for one gesture one glance

From you
