Friend, Without That Dark Raptor Poem by Mirabai

Friend, Without That Dark Raptor

Rating: ★5.0


Friend, without that Dark raptor
I could not survive.
Mother-in-law shrills at me,
her daughter sneers,
the prince stumbles about in a permanent fury.
Now they've bolted my door
and mounted a guard.
But who could abandon a love
developed through uncounted lifetimes?
The Dark One is Mirabai's lord,
who else could
slake her desire?

Pain in love is amusing at times and Mira Bai went through it during her lifetime.
