Kavita 17 - Separation Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Kavita 17 - Separation
Let me say a few words just for your ears
If you pause a little, we could meet too
My life has come to a standstill, haunted by
My memories, since when I know not
You have left, singing to me a tune of love
Leaving me mad of my love for you.
One desire I still have, unquenched
My wish to be with you remains unfulfilled
I have wept in you love, how long
Many nights have I spent without sleep.
You are the cause of my tears and smile too
As if caused a fire in the water
I yearn to speak to you for a life time
But our meeting never could occur until now
My heart longs for you, couldn't it contain…
Despite best efforts, I couldn't forget you…
Well translated.. very tough for heart to go through the pain of judai and it's expressed well in this poem

Hi Nosheen, Quite true. This is an excellent poem. As you said very touching. And the entire credit goes to Kavita, No Doubt..
I am really enjoying Ms Singh''s work well translated. You have really preserved that melancholy of this love poem :)
Thank you Frances for the comment. The original poem by Kavita is really a gem; but I doubt whether I have been able to capture its beauty here. Thank you very much Fances for the encouragement which, in fact is due to Kavita and i shall convey it to her...
Hi Frances, Learn Hindi, so you could read the original. That one is far better poetry..
