Kavita 20 - What Heart Desires Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

Kavita 20 - What Heart Desires

Rating: 5.0


You are so far away from me, yet so close
Quite emotional, but you speak no word
You retain a smile, despite an aching heart
Know not what my heart desires.


Under the cover of your memories
Let me sleep on a bed of dreams
And often weep in your memory
Know not what my heart desires.


Colorless are my days
Without the hues of your love for me
Often getting lost in your memories
I get dissolved yourself
Know not what my heart desires.


I do rise sometimes in the sky
Just like the birds who fly
Often I desire the cool shade
Of your caring arms
Know not what my heart desires.


I smile now, now do I cry
As if in a freezing night
I snuggle in the fog of my memories
Know not what my heart desires.

This is a translation of the poem Jane Ye Dil Kya Chahta Hai... by KAVITA SINGH

A poem of longing and loss! The heart yearns, but the reality stares. In this confusion, even the longing becomes blurred so that it is difficult to pin point what exactly the heart wishes to achieve! There is a tone of melancholy, but intense in its romantic appeal! A 10

Ma'm, Thank you for reading this beautiful poem by Kavita. She is a very talented poet. How far I have succeeded in capturing its beauty, I am not sure. Thank you very much for the comment of appreciation. I would communicate it to Kavita. And thank you for the perfect ten. Deeply Obliged. Your words of appreciation mean a lot to me. It is a pity, ph does not allow to award marks for the comments. This comment deserves a 100 without doubt.

A beautiful poem, an equally beautiful translation. A rhythmic flow of words, sounding like sweet music to ears. Loss of love is depicted with a flair for language n expression. A sure 10.
