RECREATION

Does it make any difference,
I clamoured for you, fourteen long years,
fourteen long years! it is easy to say,
I melt in a row, my mother told,
As a child, I did not trouble her,
My laughs, my cries, like others,
Did not create any kind of Big Bangs
That can create and recreate universe,
And than I elongated my limbs,
grew dark and scaly, I covered,
All my shabyness under a polite smile,
And when I become anxious for you,
I was told, it is love, I took granted,
And lest it should be told,
I took some wines of sanity, and he,
A friend of me, who has changed love,
Many a times, still arguing of himself,
A better involved lover, but I longed
This measurement in reality,
This time I wish to become MOHAN,
And you as MEERA, to recreate the time,
Changing the position, here and everywhere,
Of those, who avarised and sold
Flesh to unfit themselves for love,
But if they had done even that,
Still resemble Meera, carrying in
One hand a dish of poison for themselves
And in other devotion.

Author's Note

Mohan - Lord Krishna
Meera - a women saint of sixteenth century, devotee of lord krishna, poisoned by court

What an interesting and intriguing piece of poetry. It took me back to my youth; to the yearning and learning of love. Love is something much different to me today...it's more of a comfort in the giving and the receiving instead of all the drama and sex of romance. It's not love that has changed but my understanding of it...I've learned that love never hurts...it's our expectations, vanities and misplaced trust that deceive us into thinking so. I enjoyed the read.

thankyou so much for the review

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Nice analogy of a one's story with a legend. If there will be recreation and the history (legend) will repeat, could it be better if we wish for a positive/ happy ending?
Thank you for a new learning today.
Keep writing.

Love is selfless, love is devotion, what could be better example than the legend of Meera and Mohan :)

This a a wonderfully written piece the story and love you convey is clear.
Needs some editing as there are a few typos and a few places where you missed a word or two.
But a well done piece in the end.

Thank you for sharing.

I like the bit of history in this. I did not kow Lord Krishna was called "Mohan" and I did not know about "Meera" either.
