my pink rose
during your heavily textured silence
i’ve quietly merged
with
the dance of the cosmos
my reflection
nowhere to be seen

yet if you look
with that third eye
you will see
me
in every nook and corner of this cosmos
in every smile,
every frown
and every tear
from here to eternity

while the whole world
takes my name
for eternal salvation,
i softly chant
under each breath
the magical words
radha...radha...radha...
my eternal love

without whom
i'm merely
the burnt ashes
which remain
after that fragrant incense
called radha
has been lit

my love for her
steady as a rock
blessed by the gods
born out of the seven sacred flames
which witnessed this divine union
is indeed pristine

but,
my love for you
primordial in nature
born from within my very soul
mixed with equal parts
of gin and passion
consumes my very existence

which love is higher?

let the powers of the universe
be that ultimate judge

neither united
nor separated,
lovers
we’ve been
for ages

our love
older than
the methuselah
in far away Libra

no distance quells it
no fire burns it
no weapons dare
destroy it

not even
the death sword of shiva

i’m yours!

just like water
from rain clouds
becomes a part of the ocean
forever and ever
