Beloved Tyrant
A Sonnet
Sri Krishna
O Muse, O Supreme, my sole Orchestrator
O Love, O Beloved, my sole Creator
Lo, now am fulfilled only by Thee
In every scene only Thy trail I see.
Linger awhile, be seated in my heart
Whisper a little of Thy sacred art.
How art Thou so afar and yet near
So aloof and can stoop to tender tear!
O Lord, O infinite Mercy and boundless Grace
Thy captive desires to gaze at Thy face.
Wake a million eyes in me sleepless
And equal hearts to adore Thee boundless.
Beloved Tyrant, Thou art my forever Emperor
This happy captive revels as Thy servitor!
