Anticipating

(3787) Krsna kamal mor elo dekho rauna bhor

My Dark Lotus came; behold the crimson morning In the midst of Gopiis today. Hey the full sea of affection, the fountain of mercy, On each side peacock cries dance for Your sake. Profit and loss I know not, the touch of love want I; Reckoning and tally I don't find, I don't find, Owing to Yourself a Gopii having gained. It's as if on many births, only in this life, excuse— Such a love for Kanu[1] bring it, bring such love for Kanu; In psyche's paradise a Gopii obtains. Without Kanu there's no aid, except Kanu nobody I desire— I keep seeing before eyes, I keep seeing before eyes; As God the Savior, Who came? Sarkarverse article Audio recording

I just want to hug You

(3786) Tumi kena dure acho priya mor

Why far away are You, my Darling? I have seen at break of day, neath light-rays crimson: It was not possible to tie a floral string. Blossomed are flowers in many colors; They entreat sweetness, beg Your affection. Having come a bit close for a second, You disappeared, forgetting tears. With a reddish glow leaning toward west, The mind would keep holding still then. At evening on horizon is the darkness; You did send from hiding a deep sleep. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

What a fool I had been

(3785) Bhevechilum jinane pabo

I had thought by knowledge I will attain; To meditation You did yield. I had wanted with egoism; Through humility You came near. I had wished that by light-beams Illuminated is my Darling. Royally abluted by love's stream, You did bathe, ignoring deficiency. I had sought by looking for divinity in body, Mouth and hands washing, palm and fingers purifying. In ritual worship's many, varied techniques, You exposed the goof, coming on own personally without formality. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

You don't quite tread on me

(3784) Tumi esecho man niyecho

You have come, and mind You've taken; Why paid You no mind to me? You've held dear, and You have spoken With red lips, fondness replete. In You, my Longtime Friend, is sweetness universal; You are deeds of compassion, a sea of nectar. A drop of sandal-paste in hot blaze of disturbance, I was unable to bind Thee. Having longed for the dawn's crimson color Mid love's casket honey-logged, You are full, and I but vacuous; Nonetheless, You have kept above feet. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

More than I could ever dream

(3783) Ceyechilum tomay ami

I had wanted and witnessed You. In thrill of form's spray beauteous. You came in fascinating floral garb, When Yourself I have wished for. With attraction of chrysanthemum, Like a silver lotus You have come. Whatever I want, only that You give; In that do Your hues mix? Having wanted in spring colors I got lotus within lotus. Wanting's indigence You let be fathomed: Rectified the insufficiency of thought. I had desired with conceit; You took amid foot dust. Wishing and getting, to me they belong; All is already Yours, it dwells in perpetuum: What was not and what did exist; Everything there isn't and what there is. Sarkarverse article Audio recording

No amount of love to downplay

(3782) Kena ami tomar ghare asi na

Why to your home I come not, Unto you will I say? No, no, I'll say not. Why, having loved, embrace I grant it not... That fact will I explain? No, I will declare it not. Love is in creeper and leaf; In the floral pollen love is there. With love the spores go floating; In their company I'll tell what tale? No, no, I will speak not. With love the mind gets complete; With love the heart is overflowing. From love the three worlds[1] keel; That love will I disdain? No, no, I will forget not! Sarkarverse article Audio recording

My Curiosity

(3781) Tomay ami ceyechi, gopane gahane

Yourself have I witnessed, Both in secret and in depth. Obscure Traveler, please look for just a while In my direction, with eyes of kindness. Except You there is naught for which I long; I don't think of any other in meditation. Just Your love, Your unequaled effulgence, It brightens existence. You've tied me with such a thread floral; When wishing to rend, You have kept it undamaged. There's no end to the tale of Your merit; Thinking, I notice its lifespan is undiminished. In just Your mission, Your honeyed essence, On a ray of moonlight I ascend. Sarkarverse article Audio recording
