POEM FROM TAMIL LITERATURE - NOSTALGIA (35)

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.
