662. Breaking Waves.

Rating: 5.0


Daily I offer flowers
At least one day wont you take one blossom
By your petal fingers to soothe my bosom
Heaving daily to see you?

Daily I offer scented water
At least one day won’t you take a few drops
To your lips for a sip, to dry my tear drops
Rolling down to see you?

Daily I offer a few fruits
At least one day won’t you take a bite
Showing your pearl teeth as a sight
To my eyes waiting to see you?

Daily I offer incense
At least one day wont you smell
And tell me ‘o nice’ to fell
My heart writhing to see you?

Daily I lit the lamp
At least one day won’t you show
Your form in the flame as they say
You reside in the divine light?

Years together I do all these
Won’t people laugh at me
Telling ‘what a foolish goose! ’
If you continue to hide?

Am I worshipping mere picture?
Who will tell me the way
And address to find you?
Maa! Are you not here nearby me?

I know my search will be in vain
If it is done in the universe
I can only call out your names
Tears roll down and heart is in pain

You are said to be ocean of compassion
Then why do you discard my love and passion?
Which language do you understand?
Your indifference I can’t withstand!

Like a goat under the custody
Of a butcher finds no other way
I am under the custody of Time
It grows my ‘I’ to eat one day

I utter your names secretly
Is it not up to your grace
To leave me to butcher
Or to save me from this Maya? 100710

Lalithambika is called ' Sadhgadhipradha '...LS 201; the one who gives us the Salvation; She sanctions boons according to our wish and merit; again in Lalitha Trisathi Lalithamma is called ' Sadhgathi Dhayini'...LT 229 with the same meaning with such fervent asking and crying for Her blessing, definitely these prayers will stand sanctioned sooner you are Her special child; sincere and great poem
