Â
Engulfed in dark greyish sheets of grief and pain,
I feel like waging a psychic war at you.
For it seemed You took great pleasure in my screams
Bit by bit, as the excruciating agony grew.
Â
Tell me, Oh Lord of the Three Worlds,
What have I craved for that You couldn’t give?
Whose mere shadow is blessed enough
to annihilate the eternal cycle of Give ‘n Receive!
Â
Touched by the very Hand of Mother Divine,
You rescued souls from the personal hells within.
Resurrecting the bee-stung little girl from dead
Much like Shiva without His trident ‘n tigerskin.
Â
Controller of the darkest storms and rain,
You rule the fire on those red-hued fingertips.
Healing the tiny baby birdie to life,
Much like Narayan without His lotus and the disc.
Â
All I craved for was Your presence,
to wake up to the smile of my Lord every single day.
All I got was a death sentence of separation
Dragging this doomed life, come what it may.
Â
You know, I could have died,
putting an eternal stop to this misery
Tried as hard as I could,
Your love won’t even allow me that luxury.
Â
Hence I have decided to bear with this a bit longer
For I know, this isn’t a dry storm,
When the incapacitating pain of separation
has sucked every bit of life out of me,
You will rain upon my parched heart,
rendering it the much needed warmth.
Â
Holding on to this pain
that is leading me to you,
Bless me to be a warrior
and face the separation through and through.
Â
Merge my will into Yours,
let my existence be ochre-hued
Even after being apart,
Eternally I am a part of You.
