One-side too nourishes

Meera’s love, Andal’s love
All for Lord Krishna,
They so proclaimed.
The world acclaimed.
Their love is one sided.

In his love for her,
Which is an one sided,
The object is real.
The idol has senses.
Why is this act spurned?

[Meera and Andal Indian women who throughout their life loved and worshiped the idol, Krishan]

(Meera) The Early Life Of Meera

Rajputs took ’Sati’ as a sacred one
For any live widowed woman
To burn herself in the fire
With her husband in the pyre

Meera was young still.
Lo, it was God’s will
That brought the end
Of Rathan Singh who died.

Her mother, Chandramugi
Went to join him in sati.
But Rao Dudha prevented it
For Meera’s sake, out right.

As Dudha, her grandfather,
Was too old to take care,
It fell on her mother
To care more for her,

A big crowd stood once
Outside the palace entrance
To receive red saris for women
And coarse dhotis for men.

A woman took a sari,
And asked for a dhoti.
As her husband was sick
He couldn’t come to take.

Next to her came Meera,
Asking for a sari from Dudha.
He refused to give her one,
As it was for a poor woman..

When Meera was stubborn,
Laughingly he gave her one.
Again for a dhoti she asked,
The one for her dear husband.

Dudha, who was surprised,
Asked, “Who’s your husband? ”
Promptly she then replied.
“Krishna is my husband.”

Chandramugi explained him,
How Meera had this dream,
How, one day, as a child
Lord Krishna she married.

On the girl’s passion
And her spiritual vision,
Happy they were first,
But became worried at last.

“How can a silent idol
Marry this mad girl?
Is it really possible?
What’s God’s will? ”

So said her mother
To her grandfather,
Who could understand
Her passion as a child.

He said, “When she grows old,
Reality she’ll understand.
Now, she’s only a child
To know about this world.”

But for the girl Meera,
She felt herself Radha,
Krishna’s beloved Consort
In the Dwaraka Resort.

Her every song revealed
Her deep thoughts inside,
As a wife of Krishna,
As Krishna’s Meera.

(Meera) The Marriage Talk

Meera reached the proper age,
That proposed her marriage.
Her mother was worried,
It was time, she be married.

But Meera was unconcerned,
Since she herself had married
Krishna, her dream husband.
So, she wasn’t at all worried.

They sent messengers
To other Rajput kings
With their royal message,
Proposing Meera’s marriage.

None came forward
To take her hand,
But the King of Mewar
Was willing to marry her.

Kumbha Rana was his name.
To marry her, he came.
Meera was quite upset,
And first didn’t accept.

“I can’t break our tradition
By accepting another one,
Already when I’m married
To Krishna, my husband.”

Her mother cried and said,
“My life I would have laid
With your father in the pyre,
You know, why I’m here.”

“Because of you I’m alive.
If today your father is alive,
He would’ve had it done
To our utmost satisfaction.”

“What’s not possible now,
After it you run how?
Of what’s possible,
Why can’t you now avail? ”

”Our Rajput tradition says
A grown up girl, who marries
Should serve her husband,
And die with her husband.”

Meera gave deaf ears.
She cried and shed tears.
They came to the conclusion
That Meera had gone sick then.

Doctors came to check
But they went back
Without giving any treatment,
Not knowing her ailment.

Meera’s eyes became red
As she cried and cried.
Her mother was upset
O’er her pitiable sight.

Till the last moment
Poor Meera did expect
Krishna would save her
But He disappointed her.

Here and there people walked.
About the marriage they talked.
Kumbha Rana arrived in the scene.
It was her marriage day one.

As a bride, Meera was decorated.
In Rajput style, she was dressed.
But Meera was in tears.
Her face showed fears.

Her mother said, “Meera, listen
It’s our prestige, not a fun,
Our two kingdoms, it’ll strengthen.
Rajput clan will glow and shine.”

“A mother is the first Goddess.
Next only your Krishna comes.
I’m your mother saying this.
Be bold, happy and wise.”

Meera replied, “Yes, mother
Now I obey your order
As your way is Krishna’s way.
Your word is His word this day.”

She spoke no more words.
She stepped on the dais
To hold the second hand
And accept her new husband.

Unreturned

What is love when it's not returned?
What is my affection when it's spurned?
Can a love flourish
When it's not 'us'
When it's just 'me'
Will this love cease to be?
Can a love grow strong
And last long...
When it's one-sided
And it's not mutual, will it not be short sighted
And soon wither and die
But i tell you the truth.... I hold this... I hold my...
My love close, like a beloved child
I nurture this love though I'm given no food
Not from you... Is this good?
And is it right?
Must I sit and continue to love and adore
When I'm given no love in return
And deserted.... left longing for more
I love you darling... now it's your turn.
How shall my love grow?
When there is no fear of rejection-
But certainty of it... How then shall I not go?
And lapse into depression?
When the prospect of failure is all there is
What shall I do?
But nay! I am stubborn, I will continue to love you
I refuse to give up so I guess it's one-sided
But I have hope, even if a fool's hope
That one day I will not lament that my love remains unreturned
But I'll hold you and you'll tell me you love me... FIRST

I Love You Lord Jesus

I love you, Lord.

I love you, Lord
More than anyone in this world
Because Your love is the greatest of all.

I love you, Lord
For You are my Protector
When the world is against me.

I love you, Lord
Because You are the one
Who gives me strength and hope.

I love you, Lord
Because You alone
Who understand me.

I love you, Lord
Because You love me
More than I love you.

I love you, Lord
For helping my family,
Relatives, and friends.

I love you, Lord
Because You are my guiding light
When my life is full of darkness.

O Lord, so many reasons to love you
But even without these reasons,
I still love you, Lord Jesus.

I know,
You have loved me before,
You love me now,
You will love me tomorrow,
And for the rest of my life.

I love you, Lord Jesus...

Dagon Before The Ark

When first to make my heart his own,
The Lord revealed his mighty grace;
Self reigned, like Dagon, on the throne,
But could not long maintain its place.

It fell, and owned the pow'r divine,
(Grace can with ease the vict'ry gain)
But soon this wretched heart of mine,
Contrived to set it up again.

Again the Lord his name proclaimed,
And brought the hateful idol low;
Then self, like Dagon, broken, maimed,
Seemed to receive a mortal blow.

Yet self is not of life bereft,
Nor ceases to oppose his will;
Though but a maimed stump be left,
'Tis Dagon, 'tis an idol still.

Lord! must I always guilty prove,
And idols in my heart have room?
Oh! let the, fire of heavenly love,
The very slump of self consume.

The one sided love

Romeo fell for Juliet
Not because she’s fallen for him.
Juliet fell for Romeo
Not because he’s fallen for her.
It simultaneously happened.
Sexual love need not be mutual
Nor could it be reciprocal.
Love of one for someone
Across the gender, one sided,
Still instills a splendor.
The one sided love lives long
Unlike a broken or an aborted one.

Where Has The Love Gone (Fire Island Mix)

[CHORUS:]
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
Where has the love gone
(Where's the love, where's the love?)
[1a:]
It's not easy taking all responsibilities
Think it's time that we should know
What we really need
If the love has gone then you don't want to stay
Then hey baby we can go our separate ways
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[1b:]
I thought that love we had was
Oh so hard to break
But now I know that it was all give and no take
One sided love affair is
Oh no good to me
I'm a woman and I've got my vanity
[CHORUS:]
[2:]
You might assume like everything was going fine
When there was really something
Deep inside your mind
Let's set it down then maybe we can work it out
There's no need to raise our voices
Scream, or shout
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[CHORUS:]
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
[BRIDGE:]
I've come to terms about the way you really feel
I know the love we have is no longer real
[CHORUS:]
[x6:]
A love so strong (a love so strong)
Where did it go wrong (where did it go wrong)
Where has the love gone, a love so strong
Where did it go
Where did the love go?
Oooh, oh oh oh oh
Where did the love go
Where did the love go

Colours of Love

LOVE is
Life and also death
Servitude and devotion
A poem and philosophy
Stony but also compassion
Commitment and treacherous
Cold and also fresh air
Sin and virtuous
Body and also soul
Attraction and effort
Happiness and also displeasure
Affection and affliction
Action followed by union.

Love can not be christened
Name it
Lose it
But when I see you as an embodiment of love
I see you as
Radha
Durga
Meera
Marriam

Cheap Perfume

You say you love me
What does that mean?
We are every man
You’re every woman
Do I love everyone in you?
Are you nothing more than a fetish?
Are you my projection?
My illusion
My status
What is love?
Is love just a rush and a feeling?
Are you just my sex image, a star?
Selfishness parades as love all the time
Possessive property rights love rules
Selfish feelings projected onto an idol
Mine, Mine, Mine!

Will you love the homeless in me?
Will I be everyman without love?
Will I be the sick and destitute?
The least you do onto one of these
You do onto me the Bible says
What kind of quality will our love have?
Will our emotions be built on compassion?
I don’t want a commercialized love
Do you?
Lets let real love flow from our relationship
Lets not have a superficial definition of love
I know we need time alone and structure
Our life is passing into eternity
Lets do something real with our life together
All this love poetry that is really narcissism
I have had enough cheap perfume

Lord Krishna

O my Lord! O my Krishna!
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

You are the embodiment of love
you are the divine joy,
you are protector of the religion
all pain and sin, you destroy.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

Wicked and cruel king Kansa
put your parents in prison.
You released them from jail
appeared as Vishnu's incarnation.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

As child you led cow herds
had great love for your mother
Grown with magic of your flute
as hero loved by peers and others
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

Kansa sent sinful Putana to kill you
by feeding breast's poisoned milk.
She herself was met to her end
you sucked blood, failed her trick.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

He was desperate to kill my Lord
So he sent many other demons.
You defeated all of the demons
killed his wicked men one by one.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

Supported villagers and cattle,
lifted mountain to make shelter,
You killed poisonous snake in river
where cattle used to drink water.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

Always blessed, who followed your path
taught Arjuna lessons of truth and war.
You turned result of Mahabharat war
into the victory of righteous Pandwas.
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!

You come on earth again and again
to save it; in various incarnations.
Without you my Lord! I am nothing
in this universe, nothing can happen.
O my Lord! O my Krishna!
Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna!
