A TURTLE'S DILEMMA.. KALIPADA GHOSH

I know not
What is divine love !
Realizing and perceiving the ecstasy
A soul sacrifice  for life and after.
A divineness in love.
Loved a handsome maiden
Of pure heart , a wild flower
Without any taint
Without any conceit
A solemnized  soul with lustrous eyes
As much as  sanctified
Never thought of betrayal.

Betrothal in a temple
Always praying for well-being
Poverty stricken, only widowed mother
Sometimes unfed, a tweeny
Plodding , plodding for survival
twisting and wrenching herself
Without  a complaint to none.

Divine love and light upon her
A dimmed incandescent light
She loved me so deeply
Overwhelmed with ecstatic joy .

Delved into the heart and soul
A celestial beauty and fragrance
An incandescent lamp
burning herself ceaselessly radiating brilliance and lustre, aura and aroma
to enkindle a sense of  love and light.
Burning for enlightenment.
A beautiful rose
 A soul SUBLIME.

Promises to keep
I waited for her and 'll wait in heaven.
