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...
