Dark Friend, What Can I Say? Poem by Mirabai

Dark Friend, What Can I Say?

Rating: 4.8


Dark Friend, what can I say?
This love I bring
from distant lifetimes is ancient,
do not revile it.
Seeing your elegant body
I am ravished.
Visit our courtyard, hear the women
singing old hymns
On the square I've laid
out a welcome of teardrops,
body and mind I surrendered ages ago,
taking refuge
wherever your feet pass.
Mira flees from lifetime to lifetime,
your virgin.

Divine love of Lord Krishna is everlasting according to Mira, a staunch devotee of Krishna and her devotion is an example for others to follow to enjoy eternal bliss in life!

Short lines, but constantly deep and great meanings, a Princess who lived almost continuosly on the streets to sing her loveliest sad songs

There are so many stories about Mira Bai that it is very difficult to tell the facts of her life from legend. She is the most famous of the women Bhakta poets of north India.BUT she is the great Poetess, a Princess and she had done her zest! Incredible personality!
