The Flower of my Dreams

He who holds the universe by its seams,
Descended at dawn in my dreams!
Majestic and radiant, the Perpetuator stood mighty and tall,
With the radiance of a million suns, He did enthrall!

Like a glimmer of a wave in a dark ocean,
Sporting a serene smile that my spirit emboldened!
The slayer of demons, the upholder of civilisations:
Slayed my inhibitions, and upended every ounce of imagination!

Akin to a beautiful black mountain ,
The handsome chest of He who has Lakshmi smitten!
Over His handsome torso, like a tornado pulled in,
Was Adorned a lone garland with little flowers pink.

Overflowing with mercy, His eyes my meagre heart enamoured,
In my shaking hands were thrusted, His very flowers!
Even in silence, a million messages seemed to be spoken,
Gushing with gratitude, as all distances seemed to be broken!

The flowers that adorned Your shoulders mighty:
The unerring messengers of Your fragrance earthy;
This slave now holds in her hands blessed,
Even as my heart leaps in joy at Your behest!

The world may call them unworthy
For they now appear variably withered!
But oh! They were on my sweet Sarathy smothered:
Does the damned world know that few are as fortunate and worthy?

The roses that are now half-dead,
Hide the scent of my Lord so unmistakable!
In the yellow flowers that are now black instead,
i feel the force of Your perspiration so recognizable!

In the white flowers that You once adorned with grace:
Wearing them, i rejoice in the warmth of Your embrace!
And o Lord! By the leaves of tulasi betwixt strung,
i taste the dust of Your Holy Feet in my tongue!!

There aren't words to describe Your love,
Or Dearest Krishna! The benovelant boons You bestow!
O Merciful Lord who enchants with Your smile so serene:
Let me please be a lotus for Your beautiful Feet!!
