Yasodhara Poem by Puspanjali Sahu

Yasodhara

Rating: 5.0


When
each day
each hour
each moment
gave me the feeling
of destined for you
A strong realization of
of having you
in my stars
made me
to believe my fortune
and
I started seeing you
with closed eyes

That moment
I discovered myself
completely naked
but not diffident
shy but not ashamed

With inexorable madness in my heart
and beaming peace in my mind
I looked down
with melting breath
to hold your hands
within mine

I thought
these hands can wipe
even the darkness of night
and all will remain
is the golden rays of morning sun
warm and bright

But you suddenly
pull your hands out
Calmness of your voice
cut me into pieces
when you declared
salvation is your destination
I could not believe
my trust owe me fate of a roadside stone

Now
standing amid the road to salvation
that filled with
fear
to love and to be loved
to give and to accept
to keep and preserve promises
I am still searching
a way to go back
and hold you tight

Because I know
all pain ends
if you have a shoulder to weep

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
love ties knot between people….few people even in their seventies hold their loved ones hand so tightly and dare to embrace death…
And few are so afraid of death (responsibilities) …they searched a way to escape in the name of moksha
This poem Yasodhara (Buddha's wife) is a trial to deliver feeling of thos

But you suddenly pull your hands out Calmness of your voice cut me into pieces when you declared salvation is your destination I could not believe my trust owe me fate of a roadside stone Now standing amid the road to salvation that filled with fear to love and to be loved to give and to accept to keep and preserve promises I am still searching a way to go back and hold you tight Because I know all pain ends if you have a shoulder to weep, Very very beautiful and well articulated.
