Sati - Saille

I have lost

What’s closest

To my heart

In this woeful hour

I’ve chosen

To lay myself upon her pyre

For nothing

But sadness remains

Self-immolation

Not unlike Dakshayani’s act

For brighter future

And reunification

Sati

I wish to be consumed

By these merciless flames

With you

For all is meaningless without

Creeping on your burial pyre

Sleeping beside what will again be mine

My love
