Sati

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
