Radhe Krsna Radhe - 4 Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Once Parvati inquired of Siva,
'My Lord! Who are the greatest Lovers you've ever known? '

Siva was blissfully silent for a while,
Even as tears rolled down his dark blue cheeks,
Which shined like little Diamonds on a roll.

He recollected an incident of two lovers,
Who were so in love with each other,
That they let go of each other,
So their loved ones could live more.

He parted his lips and whispered,
'Radha and Krsna! '

Radha and Krsna loved each other so much,
That they sacrificed each other for love,
And lived a life separate from each other,
So the world could live together.

For if love rebels,
Then the world will see a rebellion,
And many will be sacrificed on it's altar.

Love sacrifices itself,
Love also takes sacrifice,
Such is it's dual nature,
That no lover can escape,
Then, now or forever!
