I Like You Everywhere
by Suman Pokhrel


I like you here and there on you,
I like you everywhere on you.

I like you in your tone,
like you in your touch, too.
I felt myself residing in you.
I like you in your grace,
like you on your curves, too.
I like you in the smile on you,
like you in your gaze, too.

Why do I like you?
What do I find in you?
I feel the cosmos hiding in you.
I like you in your soul,
like you in your whole, too.
I like you everywhere in you
I want to be everywhere of you.
