Longings..

Iridescent  Yamuna,
orange hues..
As the sun goes down,
uncertainty ensues.

Humming chattering gopis
Fragrant zephyrs
wringed of life,
they seem
without  Krishna.

Bring along,
the delight of his flute
Tell me its a rewarding pursuit
Bring along,
the melody of his mirth.
Tell me this wait is worth.

Walking between
the long array,
of bright lamps
lit happily,
in karthikai
With a lambent charm,
cantering through farms
He renders a  beatific smile,
ending my long trial.

Delusions soothe
Reality gnaws,
In vain
I wait.
I wilt.

Will love remain unrequited,
with impaired, broken wings.
Or will he feed my barren eyes
with secret springs?

Iridescent Yamuna,
Orange hues
As the sun goes down
uncertainty ensues
