“This is the nature
of Goloka, Krishna’s world. Even in His absence the residents want to
stay. None want to go anywhere else.” Sri Brhad Bhagavatamrita III
6.366
Dedicated to Indulekha (Asta-sakhi), whose Prosita-bhartrka (bhava) inspired this poem : "When Krishna leaves Vrindavana and goes to Mathura, not returning even after many days have elapsed, then the heroine becomes most miserable and suffers terribly in His separation." from Srimati Radharani by HH B. Purusottama Swami

I
will roll in dust
and
bathe in kunds of tears,
I
will still run the path to the forest
believing
to hear a melody,
I
will still peer out the window
to
rediscover the instants of your return
and
hear your voice
amidst a turmoil
of
bellowing and laughter,
I
will still see your eyes
because
I’ll see what you saw
this
valley, these trees, the groves,
motionless
at what You gazed
the line
where the green earth kisses
the
blue sky,
I
will still call your name
In
the ears of my friends
because
of irresistible desire,
there
are no seasons,
only
this scorching summer
without
the rainy cloud of your skin
now
giving pleasure to a land
stranger
to our love
I will still wait
for
you to come
I
will never leave Vrindavan.
