Lakshmipriya’s Woe

A poem based on real story included with some imagination.

Like a Divine Goddess

With payal clinging at Her ankles,

She was strolling by the banks

Of the murmuring Holy Ganges.

Her skin dazzled- strikingly bright-

Putting those stars to utter shame

And the Ganges waters flirted

With Her little toes and feet pinkish-pale.

She was holding her sari-plates

And Her hair flowed in the air.

Her eyes, soft and nose, sharp,

Unearthly voice, a loving stare!

Leave those men! Her friends too gaped

With their months open- What beauty!

She was Love and She was Care-

Like the ever benevolent Radha-Rani!

She was walking by and by

And the waves raced to touch Her feet.

Her lovely sole, waters moist

Drops surround in a devotional greet!

-

One day, She saw Her beloved
