Do you Know?… Mohantulasi Ramineni, Telugu, Indian
.
Do you know that a tear had been shed for you?
Do you know that a grapheme had spilt over?
No matter whatever you know,
things just go their wonted way.
The Indian Medlars in the back yard
Continue to rain in heaps;
When I look at the nascent purity and intensity of
their red and white
I feel the truth of your existence under the blue skies.
God! How many words
the migrant bird might be concealing under its wing!
Perhaps to appropriate a new shade of freedom
from every place it migrates to.
Otherwise, how could the wings span so wide?
How dearly I wish
it lends them to my thoughts for a while!!
The parting day
Fails to devour the twinkling lamps.
Even this blackholish path
Is unable to swallow the sporadic vehicular beams.
After watching your sweet smile in the full moon
All sensuous hearts
twinkle … soused in pleasure.
