Uloopi’s Angst - Seori Autar

August 13th, 2007  |  Published in Poetic Junction

She has since unraveled
her long wavy tresses
and placed the jewels to rest
The ocean waves
play a melancholic song as
Her eyes like lotus petals
appear misty
The slender waisted lady
stammers along lush gardens
where they both strolled together,
centuries agoIt was pre-ordained perhaps
and her remaining days
are spent in Arjuna’s memories
Her immaculate beauty now useless
she never grows old -
a boon of the snake people
She belongs in the water
“O Arya! Our son has become
A gallant prince -
possessing intricate knowledge of archery
like masters of war
your kshatriya blood gushing in his veins:
I turn him to you
And renounce the world hereafter” says Uloopi
He lives on the earth,
The leader of the Kurukshetra war
She resides in the water,
Loving him forever
Notes: Kurukshetra war - as depicted in Mahabharata
Kshatriya - Warrior class
