Love’s Heart
I saw charm
In the disappointed eyes
Where heart stumbled over.
The silent smile
Pinched the heart
Love’s heart.
Boundary
Even the dream has a limit
The waking world sets the boundary.
You may ride the moon
And read out poems in a dream
But you cannot become the moon itself.
If you fail to understand
You become Doryudhan dreaming of the throne
Pretending not see Bhishma on the bed of arrows
Translated by Ananda Bormudoi
