This blog is dedicated to my dearest Krishna...mostly poetry, sometimes through the words of a Gopi, and sometimes, just my own musings...

So Be It!

If i must not come see You, so be it;
If i must not come revel at You, so be it;

If i must not feast my eyes on Your beautiful form, so be it.
If i must not hear those poetic sounds so awesome; so be it.
If i must not let my mind dance like the lamps, so be it.
If i cannot admire Your beautiful stance, so be it.

If i must not partake Your dinner, so be it.
If i must not drink the Nectar of Your Lotus Feet, so be it.
If i am entitled to be a moaning loser, so be it.
If this cruel seperation is part of Your plans neat, so be it.

If this be Your descision, so be it-
Surrendered slave i am- i will not question it.
If my agony is Your joy, so be it-
Your joy is my jubilation, so be it!

But, when i am thus unceremoniously cast away-
Do You wish me to smile away, O Lord now so Far Away?
What of the tribulations in the mind's fray
Caused by Your mighty play?

You can do what You may-
Yet, i have doubts nay:
For today, You may keep me away,
But, otherwise, You will  make things work my way!

  1. Simply beautiful! Your deep longing and desire to be in His Presence strikes a chord....am touched!

    Sometimes, you know, even being away takes you near..and, I guess, that's what this poem does :-)

  3. Beautiful outflow of pristine Devotion.

    Many a times, I too have thought
    He was Killing...
    And always ended up realising
    He was Kidding... :)

  4. @Manivannan Sadasivam: Thanks for the comment.
    About what you said, i think we are always near- at His feet.
    Then why can't we relish that nearness at times???
    That's what is KILLING, as your bro so nicely put it!

  5. @bbhakti: i know, as i was writing, i WAS thinking about you- how funny is it that i am consoling you about it, and a couple of hours later, feeling the same thing?

    Pristine devotion- how i wish it were true! But, the truth remains that i remain far, far, away from that beautiful adjective.

    What i think??
    PARTHASARATHY:
    If you have to kill,
    Do so with Your beautiful smile!
    Haunt me not with seperation-
    My heart will be struck still!
