Radha-Krishna
Gathering the pieces
Of my past -
I've come back to you
Mending a broken heart
All by myself, on my own
I've come back to you
To stay here, forever...
Though it is not
Wholesome as before
A heart once mended
Is like a Yoni
Stitched and pruned
After child-birth
Yet a crack is
Always there...
More the children,
More the cracks,
Like the remnants
Of a broken heart
Being pricked and bled
Time and again...
By the thorns of separation
And yet it strengthens
The lover's heart.
Truly said: Love Endures
So, the heart-break was like
The outpourings of all my love
The hurt, the pain and the hope
As divine an end and a beginning
Like the birth of a child -
The end of all the heaviness inside
The beginning of a new life outside
And I see in you - my Beloved,
My soul mate, my bosom friend,
The vision of an ideal father,
The affection of a loving son,
The bonding of a doting brother.
I see in you -
All the men in my life
All the roles crocheted in you,
Like the interwoven threads
Of God's exquisite creation.
You being all the man I need,
All in you, you as the only one.
