Kamalakanta Bhattacharya Poems

O Kali! I am going to devour You this time…
Therefore, I ask You, O Kali...
...

Can everyone have the vision of Shyama?
Is Kali's treasure for everyone?
Oh, what a pity my foolish mind
will not see what is true!
...

Is my black Mother Syama really black?
People say Kali is black,
but my heart doesn't agree.
If She's black,
...

O Kali, my Mother full of Bliss!
Enchantress of the almighty Siva!
In Thy delirious joy Thou dancest,
clapping Thy hands together!
...

Ever-blissful Kali,
Bewitcher of the Destructive Lord,
Mother -
for Your own amusement
You dance,
...

Mother,
You're always finding ways to amuse Yourself.
Syama, You stream of nectar,
through Your deluding power
...

The black bee of my mind is drawn in sheer delight
To the blue lotus flower of Mother Shyama's feet,
The blue flower of the feet of Kali, Shiva's Consort;
Tasteless, to the bee, are the blossoms of desire.
...
