Ode to your Smile

Swarup Bhattacharya

If thou ask me to walk
thousand of miles
I am ready to obey
but only to enjoy thy smiles.

If thou ask me to swim
thousand nautical miles
I am ready to obey
but only to enjoy thy smiles.

If thou ask me to fetch
Pole star, far away millions
I am ready to obey
but only to enjoy thy smiles.

I am ready to take rebirth
Only to enjoy thy smile
which is bliss of God
Innocent and unguile.

    Thy words paint a portrait of unwavering devotion and love, expressing a willingness to go to great lengths just to revel in the joy of thy smiles. The imagery of walking thousands of miles, swimming vast distances, and reaching for distant stars all underscores the depth of commitment and adoration conveyed in thy verses. The profound sentiment of being ready to take rebirth solely to bask in the bliss of thy smile, described as innocent and pure like a gift from the divine, encapsulates a profound sense of love and reverence in a poetic and heartfelt manner.
