When Jumna stalls

by @prabhu-iyer

Here, boughs and stalks will wait, eyes laden moist in longing, every overcast eve, mourning your absence; Here, the winds will go still and rapture-swell at the song of your flute, Here I will stay, clutching the lotus memories of our love to my heart: Overcome in longing here Jumna stalls, when wonder nights of raas unfold in the mists of time. I am but a maiden of these Vraja fields, go, friend, kingdom and world await you.

Notes

My own tribute to love poetry in the tradition of Radha-Krishna. The specific cue came from an episode of 'Kahi-Suni' on EPIC channel exploring the theme, and I was inspired at the final words Radha says to Krishna how she'd like to stay back in Vraja and not follow him in his journey as a prince to Mathura.
