Thanks for all the comments. Rahman Henry is the maker and I, Razia Pell (Razia Sultana) am the translator of the poem. Our combined efforts came as a success. Nice to know!
I was trying but my memory didn’t help the ‘kolemah’ I knew by heart didn’t come to me But I remember I uttered your name three times before I drowned. A WELL PENNED LOVE POEM. I LOVE THIS POEM.
Entertaining piece. Travelling, drowning, sinking in memories and yet still able to utter a very special name!
You describe yourself as stoic in the dream. As I read it I was terrified. And my terror was not of the horror movie variety. No! It was the quiet terror of witnessing your own death in a dream and not knowing if the dream is a random fear, a passing prophecy, an air bubble. I experienced a sustained moment of existential anxiety due to your powerful imagery. Even now the anxiety has passed but not the awareness it gave me.
You have made an important comment about this simple poem which will help me a lot, dear poet. Love and wishes.
Wow! A superb write so compelling with the curiousty of what your dream means with a great ending!
The poem seems to talk about some ovrwhelming feelings that takes over the poet.He does not try to come out of it, rather surrenders as he says- - I was breathing the water in the fall In my sleep In my dream I was drowning. At that moment nothing he learnt previously was helping.Perhaps he was calling his savior or some one very dear before drowning..A lovely poem with a bit of mystery makes an interesting read.
ThankS a lot, dear poet! Really its an inspiring comment for me. And, they way of your analysis makes me astonished, how perfectly you can go to the deeper end! wisheS.
