Midnight chimes- Translation

This poem is an English translation of one of the beautiful Bengali poem of PS poet Malabika Ray.


Midnight chimes unveil in cascade,
glances of your shimmering face 
engulfing me in a transient dream...
As if you never went away!
As if I didn't wake up to see you're gone!
As if I no longer felt the shatters of pain 
swaying back and forth, in an empty swing.
And nothing meant anything anymore.

Yet I know that I will hold you forever, 
caressing you in the cradle of the moon.
Oh Yes! The enigma of your velvet touch 
Is forever my own,
In symphony of the floral sea, and 
In embrace of the endless sky.
