I lit lanterns of pink
in the caverns of Your heart
slipped rose sachets
under Your pillow
chiffon pink curtains
flutter on an open balcony
so high in the heavens
earth twinkles below
a sorrowful star
a dream
a distant memory

Only Your love is real

In this breath
is infinity
I breathe in
Your presence
Bhagavan
Your Darshan
never ends

I am flushed
and stoked
with anticipation
my head brushes the
outer reaches of space
galaxies sail past me
eyes witness such wonders

Your astounding Vastness
has entered me....

My Beloved
boundaries of
name and form
disappear
in the all-embracing
rapture of You

"Jai Jai"
This little voice calls to
her Lord
carrying incense tray
with candle and camphor

There are Souls
roaming the Earth
wept tears and
dark figures mourning

Lord Krishna says
"No, don't cry my dear
light can never die
darkness feels it
can swallow light
but light cannot die"
Om
Jago Jago
Om

Past few evenings

we saw red dragons and

half moon in the sky

but tonight!

Tonight!

phoenix spread

his gold wings across

the Azure dome

Chain around my neck
hands and feet are bound too
I choke back tears
Ocean of  Samsara
turbulent surf raging
in my eyes

Narayan, Blue Lord of the Cosmos
solar disk circling your forefinger
with very breath I am reborn
a lonely soul destined to die

How I long to wear
the garland of your love
around my neck
imbibe the Prema
that every jivi consciously
or unconsciously desires

Beloved
my heart is a swing
swaying in the pearl gray mist
come sit beside me forever...

I danced with the
luminous One
felt His breath
and the drums beating
in our blood
I caught fire...
nothing left of me....
only red embers of His love
