    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……..

    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.

    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
