Three Thoughts By Kuldip Medhi

1.

Autumn is in the air
The naked trees gaze up at the sky
As evening descends 
Like a deep sigh.

2.

Midnight's station
The trains bid a tearful farewell. 

3. 

The storm has blown away
A single autumn leaf 
Still hangs on.

(Translated from the original in Assamese "Tinita Stabok" by Mrs. Ranjana Sharma)


I Long To Be By Kuldip Medhi

Keep the door to your heart open
Flowing upstream all night on the Bhogdoi
I long to be the flute
That plays for you at dawn

Like the hum of a honey bee
On your moist lips, 
I long to be a melody of love
To be cherished for a lifetime

(Bhogdoi- a river name; which is in Assam, India) 

(Translated from the original in Assamese "Muro Mon Jai" by Mrs. Ranjana Sharma)

Twilight At the Graveyard By Kuldip Medhi

O' Soul, why is the sound
Of heart break so desolate 
In the dead wind by the overflowing river-side 

As if a gaggle of wild ducks flew away 
Carrying ripe autumns at their beaks 
The moonshine fainted by the mirror 
In the midst of 
A dream's course 
The moon sank 
In the landslide 

My Soul, everything's over now 
Twilight has descended on the graveyard.

(Translated from the original in Assamese "Morixalit Kalsondhya" by Prof. Anita Baruwa)
