Two and a half bowls of curd rice
Satiate both tongue and belly.
Yet, gazing at the world with greedy eyes,
Dreaming of swallowing it whole,
I wander hungrily.
The honest love of family
Satisfies both heart and soul.
But with truth in my heart beating steadily,
I seek intriguing lies. With heaven within reach,
I stray about restlessly.
Your serene cup I thirst, my Lord,
I crave your warm embrace.
But I cannot drink, forgive me, Lord,
From you I turn my face.
For how shall I forsake this wanton earth?
An artful, lustful, faithless woman…
Daily she wounds me, nightly she heals me,
Professing undying love for me, for everyone!
Of the smell of her bosom I’m unduly fond.
Father, how shall I ever leave her
To join you in the Great Beyond?

If you like this stuff, give him a tip. Like blow him a kiss, maybe. Or give him a smile to brighten his day and speed him on his way.

I wonder why people are wary of the smelly bits (even if used metaphorically). Kinda cracked me up. Reminds me of Vikas and his ”pakhand” post. Do you know where he is?
this reminds me of a poem by tagore which i read sometime back..a good one..
“With heaven within reach,I stray about restlessly.”"Father, how shall I ever leave her to join you in the Great Beyond?”~ lovely! Speaks volumes !!
The conflict between body and soul so beautifully expressed. It is said that King Janaka was an advanced soul but who continued to live the worldly life ruling his kingdom and co-habiting with his many queens and progeny.
