An attempt to translate

Every tamil writer would have tried to emulate Bharathy atleast at one point of time. Here is my earnest effort as a translation

Nandhalala

My sensory perceptions


Are thy manifestations.
All the colors in my world are thee
The crows show me thy black
The trees remind me thy green.
Every sound heard
Enthralls me as thy music.
Even the burning flame
Gives the pleasure of caressing thee....


I tried not to follow Bharathy's verbatim. Just give the idea of that poem and ofcourse its beautiful metaphors.
Talking of metaphors, I read a book "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", excellently metaphorical. Will blog about it later.
