To Radha

To Radha on Her Appear­ance Day

Paragraph

As a gift to you my dear queen of Braj,
I lay my life at your feet.
My only desire is to be your girl­friend.
May I always be allowed to behold your beau­ti­ful form.
May I be allowed to touch you, bathe you and dress you with my love.
When oh when will that day come when my desires will be ful­filled?
Be kind to me and grant me your mercy soon.
My heart longs for you. I can­not stand the sep­a­ra­tion.
Let me join that bevy of young beau­ties that sur­round you,
and help to bring about your union with your beloved Govinda.
You are so mer­ci­ful to even let me remem­ber you in this way.
Live in my heart always while this sep­a­ra­tion exists,
and let me return to your bower soon.

    I some­how sus­pected you’ll post some­thing on this tra­di­tional Radha’s appear­ance day, thus I posted some­thing before on a tra­di­tional Krishna’s appear­ance day. Thank you for such a nice neck­lace of verses.
