2 poems inspired by Krishna lila

Note: When I say I got the prompts from chatgpt, I mean only the idea. The words that I chose and wrote are from my mind only. I only use the ai tool for reviewing and rating my poems, asking for corrections and enhancing my talent. I absolutely DO NOT use chatgpt to write the poems for me.

1st poem : When He Left

(So Chatgpt asked me to create a poem on what krishna left behind after leaving Vrindavan for Mathura)

The anklet he adorned
Chimes in my hand
-like the twinkle of the stars,
Crying for his shelter

His mirror has lost it's shine
-just like the sun with no moon
And those eyes that gazed at the cosmic beauty
No longer sees

His crown has no head
To rest upon
It doesn't even have a strand of His
curly black hair
-like the sea without the sand

His butter is no longer soft
-like the talc of earth
And no longer sweet
-as sweet as neem

The forest flowers are drenched with
Salty tears
The bees no longer hum near them
-Having left the scentless flowers

This chapter goes on with no future for a sweet respite

Leaving me wonder if time has stopped to relive this eternally...?

2nd poem : From the mouth of Kaliya

(Again, a chatgpt prompt. Asked me to write a short poem from the pov of Kaliya, the snake of how he felt when krishna danced on him)

...and that's how the sea became my home
I sighed wistfully at my children,
curious with wide eyes

Ah! But there is nothing rueful, as such
my dearsss I hiss, forehead on forehead

The king of rascals, a perfect child,
stayed coiled in my grip
-venemous with intent
before His grace fell on me
-like cloudburst in scorching April

I hope Radha and Kunj Bihari are pleased with my poems. I hope the Vaishnavas too are happy. I pray for forgiveness at your feet for any offenses I have done unintentionally.

Hare Krishna 

Your servant

Apoorva

    Both poems are about leaving Vrndavana :(

    Kaaliya leaving for good .

    And Krsna!!

    Does the real Krsna ever leave Vrndavana?

    Or is it Krsna as Vasudeva?

    • Black beauty as shrewd as a black snake slips to the west to the Arabian sea.

      Black snake as arrogant as a king who lost this throne still clutches to  his crown, slithers east to the Bay of Bengal.

       But the Queen of the land remains, for She holds the heart and soul of the shrewd Black beauty.

       

       

    • If I'm not wrong, one of the goswaamis says that krishna never really left(?) and there were 2 forms. Like one form of vishnu as krishna left for good. but there was another krishna who was a very frightened child(so much so he didn't go near the cows at all). Whenever he showed himself to the gopis, they all thought they were able to see krishna everywhere even in his absence :)

      Hare krishna
