They always called Him "Radha-Madhav"
She was not just a part of Him
She became a part of His identity
They sang songs of Radha's love
To the notes of His flute
Which played the music of Meera's soul,
Yet no one even spoke of her
In the same breath as His name
They say the Radha-Madhav phenomenon
Portrays the true union of souls
Even though it never saw mortal union
But what of the soul that sought Him
Through all eternity,
Singing songs of His divine love
A love that was never hers
Yet the resonance of which kept her living...
A princess who turned a sage
In the infinite search of her love
Rather love itself!
No Vaishnava hymns chanted her love
No scriptures scribed the meanings of her search
No fable nor myth, spoke of her songs
The songs that never even echoed in her beloved's ears
Radha-Madhav is a tale of love
And union beyond the physical world
"Meera" is an echo of love
More divine than the Krishna himself
Unheard, Insignificant, Forgotten...
Yet alive...
In the very soul of He who symbolizes love
Breathing even today in the air
That rushes out of His flute...
The Meera that no one spoke of...!

Hmmmmm!So,finally I see your poem on Meera.Was waiting for a long time.Happy that you understand the spiritual symbolism of Meera-Krishna,exemplified in these lines:
"...union beyond the physical world...;"..."Meera" is an echo of love and "Yet alive...In the very soul of He who symbolizes love".The last line really made me happy.Good going.
There's a lovely film song that compares the love of Radha and Meera,sung by Lata Mangeshkar from the film 'Ram teri Ganga meli'.It goes like this: Ek Raadha,Ek Meera,Dono ne Shyam ko chaaha.Must listen to it sometime.
