A love poem by Alok that operates at many levels. He transcends from the personal to the universal. In the tradition of the Sufi poets, the verse deals with life, in Different Truths.

When my wandering glance
Falls upon
Your milky radiant face,
O moon of my trembling stars,
An urge
From the depth
Calls me
To sing a halcyon song
That has a power
To dispel wrong,
Hidden in the corner,
Covering itself with an illusive mantle.
The snowy sheet
Of your silvery illumination,
Spread over
Dark woods of my consciousness,
Shows the lost way
In the labyrinth of my life.
The obstinate dirt
Is compelled
To desert
Its long time dwelling
When I submerge
The seat of my thoughts
Into the deep dazzling and transparent ocean
Of your soft and soothing beams.
