A/N: This poem is not exactly mine. But is a combination of both my own imagination merged with Meera Bai's phrases (translated to English) which have over the years of my life captured my heart
....
The arrow of that glance pierced my chest
The dagger of His love cleaved my heart
The dagger that blossomed to a creeper
That I watered with the tears of my eyes
The dagger of His and the tears of mine
Have made me pale with longing
Sickly pale and deathly illness
And everyone believes I am ailing
But ailing I am each second of my life
Only from the Love of my Dark Prince
Doctors from city, doctors from town
Doctors from countries all around
I laugh at their ignorance
They peep into my eyes,
Monitor my pulse,
And prod my stomach and limbs
Yet I laugh at their folly
For they don't know
That the problem is in my heart
Go home doctor!
And bring me Radha Raasvihaari
For it is the name of God that has wounded me
Thirsty for drinking the sight of Him
The sweetness of His lips
An ocean of bliss and nectar
The only thing that I've forever craved
Go home everyone
My Lord is the Dark hued Prince
Who'll feed me nectar again and again
I am bound to him by the thread of love
Love like that of a diamond
That shatters the hammer
Which seeks to shatter it
None but Him can see in the
Darkness that lightens up my heart
Prakriti of Blue lotus thrives in the water of Purush
Likewise, I dwell in the heart of Raasvihari
All the letters that I've sent Him
Have always remained unanswered
Perceptive silence, for both of us...
Giridhar's consort, Meera once told me
That the heat of midnight tears will take me to Him
I smiled at her and told her that
Why heat? Biting coldness will work the same
Because reaching Him even in death
Is still reaching him in the end.
