Finding Myself Krishna Viraha
Ayushi Upadhyay Madhavi Krishna Yadav
I took myself to the room, Kanha, every breath I took without you,
the one where I left my childhood. made me feel how disloyal, I was to you.
All the papers, the walls, the voices,
hold a bittersweet memory. I have committed a sin, every time I relaxed when there was no you,
Love, laughter, joy. I wronged love when I slept in peace without you.
Why do they look so much smaller?
Guess I’m just taller. Your Love makes me go crazy, I long for unity with you, Oh divine.
My memories sound like the life of someone, Now I know without any doubt, that you are mine.
someone I knew so well.
I know her here, I feel her here I keep losing myself in a way within you,
I am her. I am home. all the earthly bonds seem useless before the love, bestowed on me by you.
Now I want to live and die in your love.
You are the sole owner of my heart.
Flowers Bring Absolute Delight
Manab Mukherjee I can't imagine a moment of separation any more.
The mere thought of losing you makes my heart sore.
I have completely lost myself in the love of Krishna,
Flowers bring absolute delight. with the tears of separation, I am writing our eternal story, oh my Kanha!
Something to cherish, smell, and love.
But have you ever watched it blossom?
How from a seed the whole world burst?
Good deeds take time.
Sometimes you have to slow down,
when everyone around says, “life’s a race”.
Remember the flower dies within days.
Are they just for seeking attention?
Or for a message, that struggle never goes unnoticed.
The plant struggles a lot to grow,
“If winter comes can spring be far behind”
There was renaissance after the plague.
Maybe you will win or not,
but have you chosen the journey or enjoyed the run?
In a world where, stories become memories and memories
become stories every day,
have you asked yourself do you like to live in the story?
Or cherish the memory?
