Lucid Love

Lucid love

Flowers swayed in rapture

Wavered Kadamba in glee,

As flowed notes from the flute

Stood Govardhan, as witness mute.

Besotted with a boy,

Dark as the night.

Whose beatific smile, 

Captivated hearts from miles.

Charmed stood gopies

Fascinated were gopals.

Nectar of gods filled the space

Nonchalantly danced all,

In his holy grace.

Melody beckoned, all and sundry

From far and wide, came folks

To see Krsna, 

One with lotus eyes.

Euphoniously melted melody,

In every heart present.

Evoking love, one of a kind

Deep-rooted… incessant.

A love so pure,

That opened all closed doors.

A love so refined,

Purifying even the darkest mind.

Cherishing Krsna’s choice

Every moment in time,

Making still, the small little voice

Euphoria filled with notes divine.

Hearts swelled with rapture

Only to melt into butter sublime.

Rhapsody transcended time.

Exalting mortals spirits rose 

Experiencing love’s lucid climb.
