Kavita 03 - A Letter Of Love In Your Name Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Kavita 03 - A Letter Of Love In Your Name

Rating: 5.0


The words that have dried upon my lips
The dreams hiding behind the veil of my eyes
The lonesome nights or the promises of yore
That could not be reduced to words.

Or all those evenings I had spent without your company
Or the days when I had forgotten even a smile
Would my pen bring the spring on this paper
Or those messages of seasons spent, without you beside me

May I write down the lore of my olden days
Or a new story or the emotions
That takes shelter in my heart
Or something that I had read in the books

May I describe the golden days
Of my newest feelings
Or the rhythm of my heart-beats
Or all that is hidden in my silent words

May I entrance my pen on the brine of my tears
Or shall I write down how lonesome my life‘s without you
Or may I write down my request for a meeting with you
Or a recommendation to forget you.

My heart asks me to send you this message
An emotion-filled letter of love, in your name.

This is a translation of the poem Ek Khat Tumhare Naam by KAVITA SINGH

Hi Frances, Thank you for reading the poem and offering your appreciation; But the credit should go to Ms Kavita Singh, the author of the original poem, which I hv just translated. By-the-by, Kavita (in most Indian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, Malayalam..) means poetry. thank you again...
