Panchali's Turmoil
Arjuna’s bow made an immaculate impression
Krishna smiled dolefully, knowing it all
She completed the mandatory circumambulation
Watching the knight who took the fall.
Krishna smiled dolefully, knowing it all
Her earthly emergence tad uncherished
Her rebellious streak standing fiercely tall
Vyasa’s parlance in warning embellished.
She completed the mandatory circumambulation
Lusty sermons took the leap of faith
A mother’s decree beyond all stipulation
Marrying five she stood stunned as a wraith.
Watching the knight who took the fall.
Slow burn in her soul, desire made to surrender
Ignominy a facade, his defeat she meant to stall
But… the love of her life was lost forever.
