Notes About The Poem

It Still Hurts - Collaboration With Debjani Mitra

This poem is a TRANSLATION by PoetrySouper, DEBJANi MITRA, of my poem "Monta Hariye Gechhe" in Bengali. 


I thought my heart no longer flutters
an ache in its painful landscape
once wept in teary red eyes 
I wondered why it no longer flutters.
 
crushed  in stampede of the world
perhaps in peace , crumbs of my heart 
meanders in emptiness of an open window
I wondered why it no longer hurts.

And then I turn around to your thoughts...
your laughter... your voice...
in flicker of a second, in alluring meadows,
hovering around you, my heart flutters,

Oh, it was never lost,  it still  hurts !
