ABOUT THE POEM:
This is a translated version of a delightful poem NOSTALGIA from Tamil literature. This poem is all about what the husband told his wife on his return from a distant country. The man confesses that the flora and fauna he encountered during his sojourn reminded him of her sweet scents and stares.
NOSTALGIA
The peacocks frolicking movements
Made me remember your gallant strides.
The Jasmine blossoms unfurling
reminds the lovely aroma of your forehead
That bashful stare of a deer
mimics your own demeanor.
My heart was wrought with your thoughts.
So I galloped back to you,
Faster than the whirlwind clouds.
