189.From The Frontiers Of Love Poem by rajagopal haran

(The period is 1700 AD
Two friends –both females—are discussing)

Blossoming of various flowers
From the buds so hardened
Stags with horns of iron
Twisted and hardened
Hopping and jumping in the valley
Gladdened earth with the rain drops
Wiping the drought out of sight
Sky pregnant with dark clouds
Spraying the drops scattering everywhere
Setting off the monsoon
Creatures from ants so small
To elephants that big
Chasing their mates in order to
Surrender unto them
Day in and day out
Dreading separation
Copulate quite often
Wherein my lover
Violating my feelings and
Vagaries of love life
Victimizing my nights
Where do I find him?

Hey dear my pal
Your warrior is so strong
With kindness as his fort
Ties all the tongues
Of the bells of the chariot
Lest they disturb the beetles
That partake the nectar
From flowers’ fresh bloom!
Doing this to insects
Sure he knows your disease
Effervescent and bubbling
Resultant of your love
Diagnosing the root cause
Shall merge with your body
Making your soul cool!
