Kavita 24 - Death, The Reality Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Kavita 24 - Death, The Reality
Body said to the soul
There are many who adore my beauty
Ready to die for me, like moths in fire;
You are just an imagination
That nobody has yet set eyes on;
To all, you are just unknown.
Soul replied with a smile
The adorers of your beauty won't exist
Nor those who are ready to die for you
If I'd just wink my eyes.
Neither would your love
Nor your lovers survive for ever;
I solely, am your identity
Without me,
You are nothing but dirt.
A beautiful poem. Liked the reply of the soul: 'The adorers of you beauty won't exist Nor those who are ready to die for you Neither would your love Nor your lovers survive for ever'. A wonderful poem....top score!
Really a poignant rendition, well articulated and nicely written with conviction. Thanks for sharing, Unnikrishnan.

Thank you ever so much for sharing! .. Ever so many 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ..................+++++
The soul of the heart, soul of the mind, the soul of the beauty inside, the body without the soul to guide, is next to impossible to seek/find true light! .. Searching the heart of the soul, beautifully expressed! ..

Thank you for translating this. It is a poem exceedingly well worth reading.
Hi Susie, No doubt, this is a good poem, the original one by Kavita. But translation is very poor shade of it, I know. But I just wanted to introduce Ms Kavita Singh's poems to poets like you, who do not follow Hindi. That is why I took the risk. Very glad, you liked the poem. And the credit goes to Kavita.
