Come To Me Naked Poem by Arun Maji

Come to me naked, purely naked.
I love you, cherish you as you are,
a beauty without any wear or flower.

I love to see river as river,
flower as flower, water as water.
they all beautiful as they are.

If not naked,
I must undress you layer by layer.
Deep beyond your skin and fur,
deep beyond your fruit and flower,
deep beyond your hum and whisper.
I must dig into you deeper, far deeper.

Human is beautiful when naked,
peaceful when naked, truthful when naked.
Human is ugly in his cover.
Human hides fear in fur, wound in flower.

You are beautiful as you are;
having same soul as,
river mountain, and our Father.
You must be just you, without any wear-
without any gold or fur,
without any fragrance or flower.
You are elegant and alluring
even without verse or singing.
You are sweet and shining
even without flower or painting.

O my love, come to me naked.
Beautifully naked, supremely naked,
consciously naked, wisely naked.

Daughter of earth, sister of river,
a naked beauty you are.
Divinely naked, sagely naked,
sagaciously naked beauty you are.
If none of your kins wear any vesture,
then, why you want a cover?

O love, never come to me
dressed in wear or vesture.
Else, I must undress you
cover by cover, layer by layer.
