“Twin Hills”, a poem by Vidyapati (15th Century) translated by Deben Bhattacharya
Her hair dense as darkness,
Her face rich as the full moon:
Unbelievable contrasts
Couched in a seat of love.
Her eyes rival lotuses.
Seeing that girl today,
My eager heart
Is driven by desire.
Innocence and beauty
Adore her fair skin.
Her gold necklace
Is lightning
On the twin hills,
Her breasts…
Warning! The following may be too sugary for casual consumption:
“Love’s Euphemistic Garden Of Hearts”
In the garden of hearts, a tender bloom,
Where butterflies dance in sweet perfume.
A puzzle of souls, intertwined and entwined
In the language of stars, their secrets confined:
The first embrace.
It’s the fire that ignites, a passionate embrace,
A journey of souls in a timeless chase.
A whisper of dreams in the moonlit night
Where hearts find solace in love’s soft light:
Consummated pleasure.
A symphony of feelings, a dance of the heart,
A canvas of emotions, a work of art.
It’s the magic that binds with an unseen tether,
A euphoria of souls in this world and forever:
Intimate promise.
