Your Eyes! Poem by Ravikumar C.P.

Kannada poem by M. Gopalakrishna Adiga
Translated by C.P. Ravikumar

Your eyes. They are something, your eyes!
Hanging in their golden threads, my heart lies
trapped. In their blue skies my heart flies.
Are they a pair of sapphires glowing
Amidst a snowy whiteness?
Or a couple of baby bees peeping
From the womb of a white lotus?
Two droplets of ambrosia
From a churning of your heart?
How can they say so much, in spite
Of love that fills their every part?
Your eyes. They are something, your eyes!
My heart is a lone traveller,
Lost in their memories.
