Kavya, My Poetry - 3. Longing

Longing

It’s raining so hard up here, like someone has opened a floodgate in Heaven.
I miss you, my love.
I wish we could just be in bed entwined together, me in you and you in me,
You are whispering in my ear while I nuzzle into your neck,
Without a care in the world…
Just you and me.

Why is life so cruel?
Why do we have to wait for all the good things in life?
Why is that two souls self-realized and reveling in their love, have to wait for mandates of petty governments, while mandates of Heaven declare them to be one?

I sorely miss you with each raindrop that touches the ground,
Tuning into my agony they scatter upon the face of earth.
How long till I feel the sweet breath of my eternal song upon my lips?
How long till the veil of death separates me from my sky, my life? Had I ever lived without my sky?
So, how long till the veil disappears and the Heaven smile upon us?

I miss you, my love, and your eternal embrace.
Will my ethereal Angel be with me or shall the fires of Hell consume my happiness?
Angels are, but Lord’s smile upon His creation. When shall my Grace smile on me?
Nay! He has indeed in His most merciful joy, given me a glimpse of my protector and I am enamoured since.
Thus, my devotion henceforth is solely based upon redemption, so that the Gates of Heaven, that bar me from my lover, open in His infinite mercy and may my soul be saved;
A pact sealed with a kiss in the face of the Lord and His congregation. Amen.
