A Letter From Radha Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

A Letter From Radha



my darling krsna,

isn't it time
to put away
that decorated flute
of yours?

knowing well
this is where
soulful melodies
which sustain
the rhythm of the universe
emanates from

let the birds stop singing
the gopis stop dancing
the stars stop shining
and the universe stop expanding

from here on
you belong
to me alone...

eternally yours,

radha

Very fascinating love letter. Remember Romeo and Juliet. Remember Rodrigue and Chimene, in le Cid of Pierre Corneille.

Nature bows to true love and that is what Radha embodies. Loved reading it.
