Sleep my dear....
Krishna krishna sleep my dear
The night is come but don't fear
...
Waters ready for the beautiful evening
A million gems silvery shining
The moon she cradles through the night
From him she borrows silvery light
...
At the gates of heaven….
At the portals of heaven I stand
Don't know why they make me wait
...
If daffodils turned Wordsworth….
If daffodils turned Wordsworth in-wards
Spiritual thirst took Naren to his innards
...
Don't ask me for my whereabouts
I am hereabouts and thereabouts
Don't ask me for my coordinates
I'm moving a point in space
...
Why descends the dark night
Does she ease us to some well earned rest....
Why dances the sword of fear
...
Not milestones, but….
The climber won't rest at the summit
He plants his flag-post though
...
all my attempts…..
I messaged to God and waited for reply
"Sending Failed" buzzed my mobile
...
Can I be the star on ascent?
When He takes his earthly descent
Can I be his golden cradle?
Breasts of the gopis for his straddle
...
He who looks for the Robber…..
Essentially formless
Clever disguises…
...
Vittal Vittal Vittal Vittal…..
Jnana says He made the buffalo sing
Which put an to the townsmen sting
...
The night crept early just this day
Sleep won me in its cruel way
Weary hours of long waiting
To hear one word of sweet caring
...
tea by the roadside…..
I wonder often why walk a milex
Just to sip a glass of tea
...
I wait lonely at the station
Not a porter has yet woken
The mist is muffling the morning air
I wait for the train, eyes with tear
...
Seeking to win we play this gameIs winning and losing not just the sameIts learning and loving which is true playingBut seeking to win we lose living
It's a game with rules unknownSet by the One of great renown
He sits up there and crafts them cleverlyWe are set to play blindly
The cards are dealt, some come strongBut we could play it all wrongSometimes the cards come lifeless weakHis changing rules gives success sleek

Sleep My Dear...
Sleep my dear....
Krishna krishna sleep my dear
The night is come but don't fear
Close your eyes shut out the night
Close your eyes shut out the night
Maiya maiya if I close my lids
The night will enjoy easy success
I will boldly stare the night
And make it lose to early sunlight...
Krishna krishna sleep into a dream
Pots of butter and lots of cream
Close your eyes I will call the dream
Close your eyes I will call the dream..
Maiya maiya last night I was dreaming
Pots of butter from high roof hanging
Just a dream so I leapt for the pot
A wakeful gopi was watching it
She caught me tight as I was sleeping
And woke me up from my nice dreaming....
Krishna krishna even cats are silent
They sleep and recoup for catching the rodent
Sleep sleep you will regain energy
Sleep sleep you will regain energy
Maiya maiya you call me a rodent
Aren't you the cat ever pursuant
So go to sleep and recoup wholesome
Tomorrow we'll have a good cat and mouse game...
Maiya maiya you sweat and fret
You can't catch up I am very fast
And if I gain much more energy
Our race will be mere ceremony...
(Yes he is right he is a little mouse
He knows well all secret holes
Into the deepest heart He can enter
And scrape it clean and make it pure...)
Krishna krishna your friends have slept
With good sleep their bodies are built
Sleep sleep you will become strong
Sleep sleep you will become strong
Maiya maiya like a winner I am decorated
Like a conqueror I am always celebrated
And if I become stronger than my friends
How will they have their share of conquests...
Krishna krishna the demons are up
On children awake they will sup
Sleep sleep sleep quickly
Sleep sleep sleep quickly
Maiya maiya I will wait for the demons
I will teach them hard lessons
They will flee this land of Gokul
I will make them very fearful
Krishna krishna now close your eyes
Your father has switched off the lights
He will say I am not able mother
He will ask me to learn from grandmother
Maiya maiya please hand me over
And throw a challenge to my father
If he can make me sleep this night challenge he Challenged thus, he will run away in fright...
Saama Daana Bheda Danda
Nothing works on her little Krishna
If she coaxes he coaxes more
If she tempts she falls to his lure
She plants envy, with love he unites
If she threatens he's ready for fights...
Yashoda goes on and on
Sleep has not krishna won
So sleep swallows the tired mother
Krishna wins nights forever....
If night or sleep ever succeeds
How can he play his truant deeds
If night can throw her web of sleep
How will krishna then secretly creep
How will he get to the milkmaids' hearts
And dance there in nightly sports...
