kannamma writes for krishna

krishna's reply
written how krishna writes
not how kannamma does:
"oh my kannamma!
you are mine
what more can be said?
your joys mean
your sufferings mean
i have been here all along
but we have met
only the right time
you prayed to be destroyed
what better way than through love?
every tear you spill in longing
a drop of blood falls from my heart
but when the two meet on earth
a wild explosion of flowers rises
each tear empties you one drop more
to devotion pure
ever closer you come
and the last drop that releases you
will release me too
though the paths we walk are different
that's the extreme beauty
of this friendship
the balance we strike
a divine dance
though we feel it
wobble at times
these arms were made
to hold you
whether they are there now
or not
and you know
i'm with you
for you have caught me
like i have caught you
what comes next
we'll see
the beauty is in not knowing
but knowing,
i love you ..always...
