Kavita 16 - My Long Wait Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Kavita 16 - My Long Wait
I have been waiting all along for you, dear
To wake me up from my slumber to reality.
I sit with my eyes to the road glued
Waiting to have a glimpse of you.
May I present my heart to you, dear, for I trust
To its love you'd respond some day.
I do take for truth every lie of yours, knowingly
Hoping you'd discern my truth some day.
I have become impatient waiting for you
To come and with all your love console me.
Thank you, dear poet. But the credit goes to wonderful poet Kavita Singh. Hope, you have read the original.
Hi Lyn, This poem is a translation of poem Intezaar in Hindi by Ms Kavita Singh. The original so beautifully done by Kavita. My translation may not measure upto the original. Still you liked the poem, which is a glowing tribute Kavita. And incidentally, the word Kavita means poetry. Deeply obliged for your time and the good words..
A poem of wait, well written.. Hope you discern my truth some day..truth cannot be hidden one day it will be known to all.
Thank you Rini. Obliged. I 'd convey your appreciation to Kavita..
these two lines, especially since they follow one another in the same little stanza, make me wonder why the speaker says what he/she says. I do take for truth every lie of yours, knowingly Hoping you'd discern my truth some day...........................? favorite lines: I sit with my eyes to the road glued Waiting to have a glimpse of you. bri :)

Hi Susan, Thank you for reading this beautiful poem by Ms Kavita Singh. She is a very talented poet. I am enchanted by her write. And her beauty and charm of her poems forced me to attempt this translation. I dont claim that my write has been able to capture the charm of the original. But I am elated that you liked it, Susan. Thank you.

A wonderful translation of an equally well-written piece. Wait is a difficult thing but the poetess makes it look romantic. Sublime. a huge 10
