ABOUT THE POEM:
This is a translated version of an entrancing poem THE MAGIC OF LOVE. The poem is about what the girl told her friend when she came back home after a short spell of elopement. She elaborates that the sheer magic of love made her like the muddy water in his lover’s place and further adds that it is far superior to the milk and honey available in her town.
THE MAGIC OF LOVE
The sloppy water
from a stagnant puddle
in his yard
that a deer had ruined while slurping
was far superior
to the milk and honey
readily accessible here.
