---You and Me--- by  Rahul

Since the ages or even when the time was unborn,

A thing of invisible energy in the cosmic play,

Which spread its sweet blazing beauty in the hands of the composer,

And we all unknowingly follow it indefatigably and continuously,

To be soaked in its magical charm in our nameless goal.

It is not found on the roads of physical form,

As being the sweet unseen feeling,

That our soul possesses to reflect in the mind.

It comes under the disguise of many images,

That our mere eyes never be able to understand,

Only the mirror of insight indicates what is it.

The buoyant smile of Krishna in its mystical enchant,

Or the mesmerizing tune of his playing flute,

And the devotion of Radha’s incessant faith,

Or in her solely entwined union in the calmness of beauty,

All that speak of the same energy of eternity,

Leads to merge in the endless beauty, calm and pure.

Like that I feel the same force after discovering you,

In the seeking senses of my unquenched soul,

Your presence unveiled my buried energy of divinity,

And opened all the gates to reach the heaven of beauty and bliss.

I remembered as my soul felt the things in previous birth,

That once I committed to you on the dreamland of youth and joy,

To be entangled with you in the intensity of that enrapturing energy,

Also it was to go with you to the Milky Way of magnificent vastness,

In the presence of the witnessing bridal nature,

Holding your hand and walking side by side,

To pluck the starry flowers from the trees of paradise,

And to adorn your tress with the golden garland of splendor,

Then to ask the moon to flash your agile beauty in its beaming beams.

That past memories of unforgotten green delight,

In a world of you and me and our undetached union,

When spring and summer embraced each other,

In indolent and soft delicate touches,

And the pale stream rushed like glimmering thread of pearl,

When a whisper of rapture was there among the happy leaves,

And the cool scented breezes capered among the smiling flowers,

As I found you and me in the earth’s womb,

And being connected to you since then with ageless eternal love.
