“For Krishna” by Bhakti Lata
Your eyes
anoint my eyes
with tears of recognition
Your eyes
illuminate my horizon
a dawn in a darkened world
Your eyes
suffuse my soul
in stillness
Please
don’t close Your eyes
allow me to gaze into them
for an eon
I am a beggar
I possess nothing in this world
but this desire
to rush to the temple
to see
Your eyes
