Let It Go

I took your name a hundred times tonight
Like Meera of a hundred dreams
Prisoner to her marriage of norms
Poisoned in her longing for you

And yet, Meera took your name
For a hundred nights and more 
Your breath, she breathed in
Your pain, she poured out 

Until you came to her saying
You are mine now, let it go.
And I wait now, to be Meera
Of a Krishna who knows me not
