My Blue Lord Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan
My Blue Lord
To escape
the snake of death
I look for you
into the farthest depths
of the universe
Oh blue lord of Vrindavan
Only to find you
so close to me
In the inner recesses
of my own heart
Thy lotus like feet
My sole refuge
to end
this tiring cycle
Of birth and death
this is a brilliant poem, that brought tears to my eyes. The snake of death metaphor is out of this world and the pace of the poem simply perfect!
govind, on the poem itself, i like the directness and simplicity; you show good craft... but i'm interested in what you actually experience in the inner recesses of your own heart. to explain, i am in the christian tradition but know something of the hindu tradition. i have experienced God/jesus as more or less clear thoughts in my heart, and i have had a significant dream experience where i met jesus, and he assigned me a task. my curiosity comes with the assumption that as fellow human beings we experience similar things but through the lenses of our own learning/traditions. so, if you would, i am interested to hear... you can get a sense of my religious experience in poems i have posted in poemhunter. -glen kappy
