I have been accused
of unnatural intoxication
a kind of infatuation
appreciated, not abused
Accusation of nursing madness—infused
like happiness, contentment—a conjugation
on a path for ecstasy—of preservation
with received reaction, I am only amused
I took upon this voyage with its hue—technicolor
guided by instincts of shakti₁
driven by love, grace and bhakti₂
yes, you can call me bipolar
I want nothing more than mukti₃
I only thirst for you—asheeqati₄
Nisha Balani
December, 2009
bhakti₂(Sanskri): an active involvement by the devotee in divine worship
mukti₃(Sanskrit):liberation, Nirvana
Asheeqati₄(Arabic) My beloved
