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.
