Ma Durga's Eyes (new poem)


Ma Durga’s Eyes
by Tim Kavi
Ma Durga’s Eyes
have over all time
cried thousands of cries
and uttered thousands of sighs

but none are more beautiful than my love's

her eyes have lit a thousand ships
home to harbor
have touched my lips
across many trips

her eyes are so wise.

Ma Durga’s Eyes
I need you so
to them I always go
to see the world
and each other.

there are no other eyes I know
I will return again and again
to her heart to go.

My love's eyes
are Ma Durga’s Eyes
her heart so true
that the eyes are all telling
of her many stories
from the countryside are yelling
out of the rocks and hills
the majestic spills
of water cascading down the falls
while the rest of the world waits in their alls
we hear the love in her calls.

Ma Durga’s Eyes of my love
of yesteryear and then
I knew them before
somehow
on another shore
but when I saw them again
her Ma Durga’s Eyes were different than then
her eyes are so wise.

Ma Durga’s Eyes
I need you so
to them I always go
to see the world
and each other.

my lovely Sweet love
Ma Durga’s Eyes
light where we have ever been
and they touch my heart so
where the Himalayan winds blow
and the currents of Ganges do flow

she is ever present in the wind
against the wind
she stands still

her eyes are so wise.

Ma Durga’s Eyes
I need you so
to them I always go
to see the world
and each other.

Ma Durga’s Eyes through history
tell many stories
they begin and end with my lovely love.

  1. Is it any mystery that the eyes of Ma Durga are the archetypal eyes of a loving woman; an adoring and attentive, and loving Mother; the searching Sister searching for a lost sibling? It is not a surprise at all; and this lovely poem captures the sense of it so nicely. I believe that the eyes of Ma Durga certainly adorns every woman. and well they should. Of course, Ma Durga is much more than the archetype; She in all of her manifestations of brilliance a power--a majestic and fierce Warrior Goddess!

    1. Dear Anonymous: Thank you so very much for visiting my blog, and your insightful and astute comment. I couldn't agree with you more. There is something about the archetypal Goddess in the presence of any woman who walks among us in grace; and the Goddess Herself is manifest for those who are open to Her. Well put!
