Sweet memories
Bitter fears
Sleepless nights
Woeful spears
Those nightmares
Abandonment,
Heartfelt love
Entrapment
Dawn is lost
Deep ocean bed
Cactus thrives
In barren sands
Nalini

I would like to translate this poem
the juxaposition of images in this poem are beautiful, the contrasts of 'Sweet memories/Bitter fears' with the link to 'Sleepless nights' extending into 'Woeful spears/ Those nightmares' and the identification of Abandonment, Heartfelt love and Entrapment; personify the nightmare of the hurt and pain in love disintegrating and the pain of turmoil in love hurt relationships. I especially love the ending of this poem 'Entrapment Dawn is lost Deep ocean bed Cactus thrives In barren sands' which has images I especially adore.
always remember to be kind to yourself Nalini, especially when there are problems and the world is no kind. Still wishing you a wonderfully happy 2017.
Thanks much dear poet! I don't know sometimes deeply what churns that I have to write my lines, seems you opened locks to my own subconscious self! Thanks a bunch
