Fragrance of Love By Kuldip Medhi

Love means a wild whistle A soft breeze through the window Creating ruffles in the mind Love means patter patter rains Echoes of spring, dance of rongali Love means the sunshine of aahar Dreams of painting green on a brown scrape Love means waves in the water Wish to hold onto the sky Love means moonlight magic Unknowingly discovering the Buddha Love means eksaran Self-submission in his intoxication Love means acceptance Shivering dewdrops on sewali Love means rebellion Konwar being hanged, tears of 1857 Love means a blood bathed Afternoon in Gohpur of ‘42 Love means the fire of ‘83 Dying to keep love alive Love means the smell of bokul Kept inside books Somethings tried to be forgotten But unforgettable…! Original in Assamese: ' Bakul Bakul Gondho Amar Ei Bhalpuwa' translated by Prof. Anita Baruwa.
