Mohanan V.Nair
Krishna's Meera.

Meera,  Krishna's Meera is dancing in the street !

The people who gathered there are fully bemused , as she was like a queen till the  day.

She was in the veil  ever before , for not to be viewed by others.

Even ,her husband waited  until dark for a favor from her.

 

Now she is in mad love with Krishna.

In the mirth of her  singing and dancing,

she doesn't know her saree is stripping down .

Meera sings in the street, as nobody has ever heard.

The people who thronged there place their fingers at their nose's  tip.

 

Meera looked at her husband and cried out,

"Krishna is my Lord, you are a substitute."

She should never set foot  on the state,was 

the Royal order .  

Meera  is  now leaving for Mathura.

People who gathered there look down being sad.

 

Meera enters the temple by singing in the rain,

she dances as the people of Mathura have never seen.

To the temple where women have never trodden before ,Meera treads  through the crowded devotees.            

"It's against custom", trying to check her, the people shouted .

"Go out , Go out, the priest cried aloud.

For decades, women fear to come here."

Male devotees gathering there also are afraid of bad omen .

 

Meera laughs louder and sings louder

she sings madly in love with the Lord.

Her affection to her Lord , has yet  been counted.

She said to the priest, "You and all here are mere women ,but Krishna is  the  only man in the world."

 

She walks to the place of deity before them ,

dancing and singing deeply , still it is raining outside.

They see pure love in her eyes,as she walks towards the lord.

A storm comes there, all of a sudden from nowhere.

It prevented their view for a short time.

Meera  coils into the deity and slowly vanishes  in the blue smoke.

The priest and devotees stood there  being more pious.

Her songs still hovers the temple in echoes.

Meera sings and dances in mad love with her Lord
