A Note of Your Flute

a note of your flute

( Inspired by the love and devotion of princess Mirabai to Lord Krishna)

A NOTE OF YOUR FLUTE….

A vicious storm  which feeds on our separation’s agony

rages continually in my heart’s inner sanctums,

as my eyes unblinkingly gaze at life’s forlorn paths

for a glimpse of your beguiling countenance,

while I spend moment after moment in bated anticipation

to witness that supreme rainbow of bliss.

 

Darkness and light have artfully joined hands

to perform a routine step of their daily dance,

gifting to the world another spectacular twilight

under the canopy of saffron smeared skies,

while I stay misplaced at the tip of your flute

as a much beloved, yet forgotten note.

 

Alone, I sit in this modest bower of nature

away from all sarcastic laughs and prying eyes,

darning the enlarging holes in the tapestry of hopes

with the tensile yarns of my prayers and faith,

as some cuckoo birds recite love’s enchanting melodies

to elegantly embroider my daydreams.

 

The dried leaves fall as soulful tears from trees

and form a whimpering carpet on the ground,

mirroring my innumerable dreams and desires

which keep orbiting around your divine form,

both conferred life by sudden gusts of wind

and then tossed back to the chasms of despair.

 

As a coarse pebble, I will keep waiting at this shore

for the first kiss of your love’s waves,

to dissolve my identity completely in you

when you carry me away to your depths,

to places where none have dared to venture before

and be consumed in the pyre of your love.

 

How unrelenting are the tides of your thoughts

that brim up till my hearts collapsing boundaries,

and overflow as these unpolished verses on paper

stripped bare of all pretentious eloquence,

as I entrust them carefully to the compassionate winds

to be placed before your merciful eyes.

    The intense flame with which you embellish your words brings magic to them, belonging so deeply within, yet thrown about like glorious wild seeds with which to sew. Absolutely beautiful in your harnessed pictures with which you have so generously laced this vision into your soul. I am always a fan of your poetic prowess!

    Morning* my ever beautiful friend, the ever beautiful Soul, Anjana my dearest, You always outdone Your self in this theme, and You know why? because the depths of Your spirit, the depths of the spiritual essence, all always sweep through Your words, through the wide range of the feelings You gift us, through that gentle caress Your heart knows how to use, how to play, how to brush with it over our senses… it’s pure like a fresh dawn’s breeze… the bilss, that sheer bittersweet bliss of spiritual love…
