A Mail To Mayakkannan Poem by Indira Renganathan

A Mail To Mayakkannan

Rating: 5.0


Darling Krishna,
In that dispersed dream
Into a vague painting
You too dispersed in a stream
Of blue and green leaving
Me in a splendid awe
To remark till now 'aha'

In the cradle of my vision
You sway like a tiny magician
With your beauty splendour
Smiling, chuckling to evince an ankle-biter
On a banyan leaf so fertile
Only to conceal in exile

You slick up then a little grown
Patting me not to search on
Four armed, with conch and discus
With mace and lotus
Asking me to comment on your armour
Narayana, only as an idol at Guruvayur

Then you perform a new dance
Taking me to a deadly trance
On the serpent Kaaliya
You then heave the hill Govardhana
Simply on your little finger
Soon you vanish ere I admire

Blasting you come again as Narasimha
Tear apart Hiranyakashipu.Mayakanna
Countless were your deeds divine yonder
Dreamt and only dreams recur

Hey Ranganatha don't laze at leisure
Me, impatient by your reclining posture
You dream now of Puthana
Breast-sucked to death by little Krishna
Who enraptured Yashoda blooming
Like lotus, aged three, so charming
Should my dream come true
Ranga, want my Krishna alone, true

That chubby face with muddy mouth
That muddy mouth with awed mirth
Yashoda saw in a living cosmos..
Have I that repeated? ..Yes
Consecrated by ablution of your divine melody
Were'nt gopikas roaming around Your bansuri?
Venugopal, pal of gopas
Douse me too in your musical grace
Hurry up Hari
Prank and prattle for me
Pop in Lord, I'm waiting

Lord Krishna- Omniscient- would have been too pleased and bestow HIS grace on the humanity!

In the cradle of my vision You sway like a tiny magician With your beauty splendour Smiling, chuckling to evince an ankle-biter On a banyan leaf so fertile Only to conceal in exile any amount of words may not suffice the praise of lord krishna. he is such wonderful religious character...10 read mine o, lord...prayer.
