CAN I HATE YOU? When I entered the familiar, beautiful Abode of yours in all tears and rage…. With all anger directed towards you…. My lips trembling, my vision blurred…. But you were oblivious of my turmoil & my plight, Sitting decked in all finery with a golden dress With that bewitching & captivating smile…. Seeing you I just stood transfixed….. What to say about your eyes….. Oh my god! ….. it was so full of love & compassion; Inviting me for a tight warm embrace…. Conveying so many things which I could not comprehend Your golden jhumkas studded with precious stones Swaying gently whenever you moved your charming face The long lovely tresses forming curls on your sides & forehead The bright red vermillion making the sun to hide in shame… Your long slender arms bearing the goad & noose, Sugarcane and bunch of flowers Your well endowed bosom filled with love Supported by a slender waist Seated with one leg crossed And another resting on the pedestal; The feet adorned with thick anklets Making tinkling sound as you walked …. Seeing you in all glory I fell down at your feet like an uprooted tree Tears flowing unabashedly My anger melting into helplessness…. No sound coming from my dried mouth…. Though my heart wanted to convey lot of things The pains, the disappointments in my life But everything forgotten for that moment…. A voice in my head went on telling me That I had come to hate Her, fight with Her Not to believe Her… She was taking me for a ride… But seeing Her love filled eyes I could not bring myself to hate Her Nor vent my frustrations on Her What magic did she do …. Why could I not do what I wanted to …. As my mind went blank… Filled with a sense of calm…. All the confusions evaporated… As I slowly came back to my senses… Making a firm resolution To hold her feet more firmly During the turbulent times of life Having total faith in Her Surrendering to Her unconditionally Trying to feel Her love…. As I now knew that she always carried me……..
Lovely Fantastic wording feeling mild and confused ..not too angry..and lOVE that it ..just enjoyed reading it Lalitha .
As usual I enter your place today With a heavy heart and an accusing tone. As always you smile even today Reassuring me having known, What I am going through. "Soon it shall change dear!" You convey nicely though They fall into deaf ears. "Won't you understand dear? Your sorrows make you worthy. I am there. Have no fear! Winning them should be easy!" You say and hope that I will Understand it someday. I only pray that you will Be with me the entire day! Your smile makes me forget My sorrows, yet I always cry Before you. There's no regret. They are but tears of joy! Well..... After reading yours I wrote this. Such was the impact you left. Nicely written Lalitha. Thanks.
Wow Rgs that was better than the original...... Thanks a lot for gracing this thread... My bow to you for the appreciation.... thanks once again. :-D
It takes but a generous heart to say that Lalitha. I know that you are a gem. Thanks very much [and sorry for that long post of mine]. -rgs
Dear LS, A great one! For a moment your poem made me to think about "Her" in "Rajaji Nagar". I'm yet to have a glimpse of Her dharshan. Whenever I spoke with you I could always sense your luv for Her.. Love Thanks Divine, Savvyheal
