The Mischievous Smile

Will i be ever able to decipher Your smile?
A thousand mysteries lurking beneath its sweetness
Sweeter than honey, cooler than a breeze
The smile tickles Your cheeks a rosy pink
Blue eyes twinkle with a naughty glee.

You are a thief, indeed the smartest one
Stealing hearts with just one smile
That dances on your lips eternally without a pause
Your face dripping with such heavenly affection
How can i not fall in love?

One look at Your face
And i’m lost, lost to You
Forgetting the world, forgetting my worries
The separation seems unbearable, the distance gross
O Lord, will i be ever able to see you up close?

As i fight back my tears
Your smile grows wider
Are You trying to console me or tease?
i ponder. Go on …whatever it is
You’re the Lord and i, a mere sheep.

Now, just for a moment
Will You please stop the mischief
And listen to my fervent wish
Grant me a few moments to sit by Your feet
While You play the flute and Maa is lost in bliss.

Oh my beloved Lord…i beg You please…

P.S.  ‘I’ (pun intended) felt very egoistic while reading the last line – I beg You. And i quickly proceeded to update them all to lowercase, praying for this fleeting understanding to seep into my consciousness and dissolve my ego.
