Limit Of A Translator Poem by Pallab Chaudhury

As language is a carrier of a thought
So is the translator of an idea too…

Some gap which exists of its own
Between a thought and a pen
I wish to fill it up…
As a photographer, to get black and white photos
From the negative, finds himself busy
Whole day and night;
I too search for
And stand sometimes
At the exit;
The thought too, is eager to be free…

I think- deep in the mind
If I could bring back those days
Kept preserved in albums
Into a poem;
Or if I could convert those photos
Which carries my childhood days
Into colorful one
Using some smart apps

Upon crossing the limit of translator
When shall the poem start
It's journey in to the cyber world…
