The Veda Of Love Poem by PREMKUMAR C N
The Veda Of Love
Confessions Of Krishna - 1
Decades back I had to leave you
To pool all my abilities in shrewd responsibilities
Which made me forget myself
Yet you often drip in my dreams
I confess, during the war of 'Dharma' I forgot you a while
Yet in the crude agonies, I stood up with smiles
I didn't fight in the war with weapons
And remembered to remain a ‘Sarathy'
You taught me the 'Vedas' of love
That fight will never make us win
But never to fight is definite win
In fact, the fight will lead to losing everything
You never fought for love
You never asked for anything
But I am here to give you everything
Since you had won me ultimately
The waves of agonies in mighty fights
Left a tiny sand in the shell of my mind
It caused a severe pain... so excruciating
I cocooned it with my tears to turn it into a pearl
Now my shell is empty except with this pearl
I know it shines with your radiance
The waves of my mind ask, when can I see you?
To open this empty shell for you
(This is an imaginary poem written as narrated by God Krishna to his childhood love Radha, to show how sublime and deep his love was.)
Dharma - The righteous duty.
Sarathy - One who guides and drives a chariot in a war. Krishna guided
Arjuna in the Kurukshethra war.
Vedas - The true and fundamental Knowledge.
Touching. Breath taking. My love, my Krishna is currently absent from my life. I miss Him ever so much, it hurts to breathe at times. Thank you. Thank you for sharing.
‘But I am here to give you everything/Since you had won me ultimately’ Sure ...Lord Krishna won Radha [His divine consort] and Radha totally consecrated Herself in this Divine Game..nice diction thanks sharing Voted 10 Ms. Nivedita UK
ah...i think even the Gods are just helpless and they also flow with the times and happenings only...
I love this poem-although, I have not the knowledge and or understanding of the verses in the 'Gita' as et al. Your poem-I will read the other-tells a beautiful story of love.Just as Hara Krisna taught and others learned, I will continue to learn from my internatiional poet friends as well.
confess, during the war of 'Dharma' I forgot you a while Yet in the crude agonies, I stood up with smiles I didn't fight in the war with weapons And remembered to remain a ‘Sarathy’...it is brihtest part in the epic where God had decided to side with the dharma or truth.. we all indian cherish in such philosophy....10
Your belief comes out strong and bold through your pen! Good poetic flow.D

Wow. I cannot read, soak in, absorb enough of you. I pray for Krishna's return. It's days in solitude, like now, I miss him most...without him, precious time is wasted. Anything to feel his touch, especially in my time of solitude and the day I receive my treatment (chemo clinic) . I long for his presence as I know he gives me strength and love (I miss both and need both right now) . A question (excuse my ignorance) : will Krishna return to his love? Is he still with her even in his absence?
