Rukmini’s Apprehensions

Savithri V posted under Poetry Tale-a-thlon S2: Poetry on 2022-08-30



I am in love with the man in blue His peacock feather, flute and butter too. Blueberries, Java plums and peacocks a few Amidst flax, iris, lobelia blue flowers to view My garden blooms and lauds his glory O pigeon, O dove to Dwaraka you fly Tell him about Shishupal the sly Krishna is the apple of my eye To express my feelings ,I feel not shy I wish to elope as Krishna’s bride. Laugh not, I too know he is omniscient Yet through the priest, a message I sent My Lord and his ways are playfully bent Hence these apprehensions and augment Though I am Goddess Lakshmi incarnate!   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
