This is wonderfully expressed, how only a half of a soul and heart is not enough to enjoy life again

Distance is very hard to bear. When lovers are separated by miles, the psychological aches become a routine. Life loses its colors n flavors and becomes one long endless journey of wait. Well expressed feelings.

Sleep does not come in separation of lover. Lover has gone abroad and life has fallen in loneliness. Feeling life's status is amazing definitely. Wonderful love poem is shared here.10

Thank you Mahakul Saab! For reading this poem and posting such generous comments. You have read the original and would agree that I have not been able to capture its beauty. And all your good words, definitely is due to Kavita. She is a truly talented poet. Obliged.

Good Morning Mahakul Sahab! Thank you for reading this extremely beautiful poem by Ms Kavita Singh. Kavita is a truly talented poet and her poems of love are lovely and wonderful. I loved them very much, so have just tried to translate it to English, so that our fellow poets also could relish their beauty and taste a little flavour of Indian poetry and literary culture. Your comments and appreciation mean I have been successful, may be a little. This poem has come out good, as the original so very beautiful. Obliged. Thank you.

Hi Carol, Thank you for reading this very beautiful poem by Ms Kavita Singh. I have just translated it into English, so that fellow-poets like you could read and enjoy her poems. Kavita Singh is a very talented poet. I have translated many of her poems and posted on ph. I invite you to read all them, so that you understand her creativity. Though, it is a fact that my translations do not capture their true beauty in full. Your appreciation, I would convey to Ms Kavita, because it is actually due to her, not to me. B ut Obliged. And Thank you, Carol.

Sad with a heart of longing for the loved one who has left.My eyes are tired always watching the road... actually, the heart never stops thinking of the lover. A beautiful love poem, that was written in a very natural way.

Hi Cigeng, Thank you for visiting this lovely poem by Kavita Singh. She has written it so emotionally.. I am not sure I have captured its beauty in this translation... But Cigeng, thank you for reading this and printing the splendid words here.
