Left: The end of Bhasmasura, Right: Mohini and Koorma

The desultory seductress
Of enchanting beatitude
The Creatrix of a thousand webs
Creatively Conceals the Creator
With the mesmerizing Kaleidoscope
Of her magnificient Creation

As the elusive emanation
Of the Preserver
She protects the imbecilic innocence
Of equanimous austerity

As the Destroyer is threatened
By the bombastic Bhasmasura
The Preserver transforms
To Jagan Mohini..

Consumed by her beauty
The entranced Bhasma pursues
Matching her flirtatious Mohiniattam
With his salacious Salsa

At the peak of desire
She cajoles him to destruction
With the mindboggling mimicry
Of Her million mirrors

Enticing even Shiva
To quick consummation
She shares with humanity
The seeds of auspicious austerity

Which Krishna unravels
Playing his flamboyant flute
With such exquisite equanimity
That perplexes even Paradox

Thus, revealing the futility
Of lifeless logic
Which dismisses her casually
As unfalsifiable Maaya

Leaving out the experiencing
Of the indomitable existential glue
That binds an emergent Hari
To the primordial Hara..

Left: Bhasmasura chasing Shiva; Right: Shiva and Mohini
