Krishna Poem by Kamala Das
Krishna
Your body is my prison, Krishna,
I cannot see beyond it.
Your darkness blinds me,
Your love words shut out the wise world's din.
[From Only The Soul Knows How To Sing]
A brilliant little poem that emanates from the pen of a pure devotee of the Lord Krishna! The poetess imprisoned her soul in the prison of the four walls of Lord Krishna..'Your body is my prison'. A magnificent expressive poem carrying spiritual vibes.....10
High state of devotion towards Lord Krishna is divine itself sure!
Your love words shut out the wise world's din. the soul knows how to sing.. very fine poem. tony
A glaring example of classical love poetry, it is devotioal in form and content. It is a poem of Krishnaprem and Krishnabhakti. The message is, i am but in love. where do you search Me? I am by you, by you.
Your body is my prison, how to do the self talk without the body, as the heart is in the body wherei dwell is the Lood-God, is it not? You are my Love, the Love of the Heart. You are Shyam, Ghanashyam.
Heartiest, posthumous felicitations to the demised poetess, on this excellent piece of poetry being selected as the 'Poem of the Day'! 'Your love words shut out the wise world's din' - what a profound expression of being submerged under the 'love words'!
Your body is my prison, Krishna, I cannot see beyond it. Your darkness blinds me, Your love words shut out the wise world's din........... ...........Love for the Lord is one kind of spiritual prison

Your love words shut out the world's din - nice way to express the exclusivity of the feeling of love.
