Trinetri


When to the depths
Of grief I fell,
You grieved with me
In that hell.
Your grief set
The world aflame
And so it put
Mine to shame.
Silenced, I looked
Into your eyes
As you grieved for me,
O Bhairavi...

As my grief
Turned to joy
I followed you
Into the sky.
I could not keep up
With your flight.
I could not match
Your delight.
Amazed, I looked
Into your eyes
As you laughed at me,
O Bhairavi...

They say you live
In the world that lies
Beyond the darkness
Of closed eyes.
My eyes are locked
Upon your dance.
What use to me
Is a trance?
Drunk, I look
Into your eyes
As you dance before me
O Bhairavi...

Maddened, I sit
At your feet,
Lost in the spell
Of their beat.
Nothing left
For me to do
For I could never
Dance with you.
Defeated, I look
Into your eyes
As you devour me
O Bhairavi...
