Vasava - An Untold Story 12/Many
Vasava –
An untold story 12/Many
After her melodious first song of the day,
Vasava left the stage to prepare herself, for the most awaited
First dance of the day, for which she took the theme of,
Radha’s separation from her beloved Krishna,*
Enfolding the depths and beauty of Radha’s love, which came out
So impressively and intensely, when tears started rolling from Vasava’s eyes
Her eyes were shining, like the eyes of an alert deer
Expressing the sadness, with the rolling of tears, resembling
Radha’s* heart agonies and love for her beloved Krishna*
Which she was portraying before the audience
Who felt for a moment, as if Radha* actually herself was there,
Adding more cuteness to her charming face,
She was recollecting, how Krishna’s flute had brought her so close to him
How listening the melodies of Krishna’s flute,
Every one in Gokul* became enchanted, to keep on listening his flute
Spectators were now feeling, as if Radha* herself was moving on the stage
Vasava slowly increased, the speed of her dancing steps
While keeping her face expressions, in tune with her speed
Her body organs too were moving, with her flitting steps, while tuning
Everything with the Cham Cham* of her Payal’s* Noopur*, which were
Pouring honey in everyone’s ears and squeezing their hearts towards her
