The Kiss

the Kiss2.jpg
Two pairs of lips
Seem to whisper into each other's ears
They seem to suck each other's heart
Two loves
Leaving their homes
For an unknown land
Seem to have met
At the confluence of their lips
Two waves
Rising in the tides of love
Break and meet
At the beach of lips
Two passions
Asking each other
Have met at the body's limit
Its song
Love seems to write
In tender words
On layers of kisses
Plucking flowers of love
From these pairs of lips
They will go home
To string into a garland
How sweet is this meeting
On a bridal bed
Of color and fun!

Translation of the poem Chumban from the collection Kadi O komal by Rabindranath Tagore. The original poem in Bengali script may be viewed at
