Postman of Inertia seeks Slumber’s Address

Postman of inertia seeks slumber’s site in your eyes

My silent journey to the night’s fatigue goes alone

Dense forest of tresses are the surges of river,

parting of hair is a lonely path

In the remote unknown homestead,

I’m attracted, faraway, secluded,

Crossing a long way through the cold winter, walking,

I feel warmth of the summerFrom the ocean of eyes,

who the girl immersing deep

Took out all alone tiny pieces of my tender desires

Someone’s tinted eyes burn beside my window nightlong.

Someone hugged me with love, though never kept the vow

Still I too called her close and kissed at her chin as youthful lover

Admiring the poems lonely untiring frantic sentry remain sleepless

all night

In the moonbeam of Chaitra I hear songs of pale meadow in Krishna’s flute

Calling out in melodious tune, Radha, Radha,

I remain awake alone.

Radha, Radha, the bridge is built to the bondage of love, temple of heart

This and that, on both sides you and me visit endlessly

Your seat is made up for you only, I feel scared to build an abode of love

But this path is not the way of death through the parting of hair

Desire is bounded in the powerful hands, Radha, O Radha

Like the parting of hair the path is seen on the clouds

In the stillness of meadow a blue-eyed bird remain awake

A giant piece of stone but a pair of hands emergesIn the bustle of the city

a blue-eyed bird sits alone on poet’s table.
