O Krishna
A Sonnet
Krishna, O Krishna, Lord of the Azure
Beloved of Gopis and every heart pure.
Am now shorn of deviant guileÂ
Would swap all riches for thy single smile.
Mire-draped and despondent was IÂ
Mute willed and silent every cry.
But deep burned my searching fire
Peering through the void dark and sombre.
I commerced with the Titan and the bruteÂ
Forded every desire and lesser fruit.
In an anguish and pain I did sigh
For a gesture from Thee on high.
Then the miracle of Thee did unfold
Ever my hand was held by Thee untold.

Lasso Of Joy
SonnetâââAn Invocation to The Master #103
Oh the anguishes packed into a human span,
The mires that weigh down bodyâs existence,
What tongue can speak of this acute burden,
Only to Thee is known our deep grievance.
Is this how Thou teachest us the old fable
Of doomed Sisyphus and his vain labour,
Our deeds fruitless from a day all ignoble
Judged by harsh night-brow cruelly severe.
A rotten bread is ours leavened by sorrow,
A bitter wine of unwept tears scorchesÂ
Our parched throats, a dread is tomorrowÂ
That hides in its bosom new dangers.
Oh throw for us a lasso of joyâs reprieve,
A happier morn and night for us do conceive.
