Radha - A Divine Love Poem by Tribhuvan Mendiratta

Embodiment of love
Purest form of love.
Divine lovers why they met?
To part again - never to meet.
A village belle from Rawal
Born in a golden lotus
Or entered the womb
Of wife of Vrishbhanu
Eleven months elder to Lord
Divine lover of shri Krishna,
Didn't open her eyes till
She beheld face of Krishna.
Looked at face of her lord
Her life and soul, bal(baby) krishna.
Barsana of Radharani.
Consort of the lord of the worlds.
Laadli ji would meet Krishna In Gahvar
Spend hours in the mood of love.
Krishna adorning her hair with flowers
Love bloomed in vrindavan
Heart of Radharani and the blessed braj.
Performed many leelas
Krishna left for Mathura to kill Kamsa.
Binding her in promise of ‘NO Tears'
Devastated, Radha made the promise
Krishna told her love is unconditional
She would ask everyone where Krishna is
And when is he coming back.
She asked the bumblebee
If she had brought a message from Krishna.
Gopis revered Radha
She wouldn't comb her hair,
Won't wear jewelry, and
Won't have flowers in her hair.
Her face a full moon looked waned.
How much happy Krishna's wives
His pain was only for her.
His smile for his wives
But his tears were for her only.
Leaving the earth for Golok
Krishna played his flute for Radha
Radha came immediately
And merged in his body forever-
She is the Hladni Shakti of lord Krishna.
Inseparable from Krishna
Radharani is the base of love,
An epitome of unconditional love
Integral to beloved Lord Shri Krishna.
