Let us rejoice by speaking our invariant love story
By sitting together in a gently dancing paper ship!
O’ RadhE! Speak with me and see!
Let us go for a stroll all the world by holding hand
with eyes open over the leaf spread ‘you and me’!
O’ RadhE! Hold my hand and see!
Let us laugh out loudly with truth of reality
By standing aside the coolness of the shades!
O’ RadhE! Laugh with me and see!
Let us feel and stand on the curves of shapes of letter
By moving aside the love said repeatedly in epics!
O’ RadhE! Feel my heart and see!
Let us learn to live our life without separation
By sitting inside the eyes’ tears that spring due to separation!
O’ RadhE! Live with me and see!
Let us freeze (live) in the time as a portrait like face of moon
With love and kindness sculpted through the chisel!
O’ RadhE! Accept me and see!
I have come to make you realize the secret of earth’s gravity,
as your face turned red due to angry of neglect!
O’ RadhE! Look up at me and see!
I will do penance asking for only you who keep so quiet,
Even though I remain as ‘Kanna’ performing ‘action play’ in eight directions!
O’ RadhE! Love me a little and see!
I will remain everywhere as a lover who does not run away,
Even if you think of running away from me to the ‘no men space’!
O’ RadhE! ‘Love me only’ a little and see!
Note:
It is from Hindu mythology that Lord Krishnaa (Kannaa) marry RadhE and plays ‘action plays’ which end in all well.

Jack Mullen comments in Allpoetry.com: A compelling read. A unique statement of lover lament. The images grew as I read and the repetition increased the mood of sincere commitment with some pathos over love's unequal intensity so frequent between lovers.
