अनंत जन्म
रात्री कधीतरी झोपेत, वळली मान
अर्धवट उघडलेल्या डोळ्यानी पाहीले
उशीवरून वाहणारे, ओघळ मायेचे
हळूवार गोंजारणारे, एकटक पाहणारे
ओळखीचे तरी नवे वाटणारे
ते डोळे
निशीगंधाचा सुवास धूंधावणारा
आसपास तरंगणारा, त्याचा भास आभास
गालांवर पाकळ्या, सुकुमार चाफ्याच्या
ओठांचा गुलाब, अर्धवट उमललेला
बोलू का नको, यांत कोठेतरी गुंतलेला
मी ही स्तब्ध
आठवत नाही, कदाचीत श्वास रोखून
सौंदर्याच्या सागरावरील
प्रीतीच्या लाटा
नजरेच्या ओंजळीत सामावू पाहत होतो
काही क्षणच गेले असतील, कदाचीत जास्त
वाटली मात्र युगे मला
त्या काही क्षणातच जगलो
अनंत जन्म, अनंत वेळा

Above lines are in Marathi language and have loosely translated them to English below
Many Lifetimes
Some time at midnight I turned my head
Half awake and half asleep
Oozing down from the pillow
Could feel warmth rising, in the cold air
Those beautiful eyes
Probed and caressed , watching me tenderly
Though known to me, seen everyday
They somehow feel, new all the time
There’s a hint of perfume
Or maybe I dreamt
Had the urge to touch those
Soft smooth cheeks
And the lips like rose just on the verge of bloom
Holding some words from escaping
I stood still, may have held my breath
Don’t know how long
For time seemed to completely stand still
In those moments, tiny and small
I lived many lives
