A wistful poem about love, life and poetry by Dr Ampat Koshy, and its Polish translation by Anna Maria Stępień.
I see the moon
in the pond’s black night
I croon my poem
to its twin
I write these words
to no one
Only God reads
and the universe
I am content
The world deserves them not
Like red rose-petals that sway
blushing, at its touch
e’en in the lightest breeze
are my poems
I imagine
meeting
someone that sensitive
We will know from just looking
at each other
what kaajal lines our eyes
this night;
whether that of love, truth
tears or lies
The voices of
the speechless ones
will hold no secrets
for both of us
And when we hold hands
the silence of our laughter
will shake life’s very
foundations.

W stawu ciemnej nocy
księżyc widzę
Szepczę wiersz
do jego bliźniaka
Piszę te słowa
nie dla kogoś
Czyta Bóg tylko
i wszechświat
Jestem szczęśliwy
Świat nie zasługuje na nie
Są niczym czerwone płatki róży,
co kołyszą się i rumienią dotykane
nawet najdelikatniejszą bryzą
wiersze moje
Wyobrażam sobie,
że spotykam
kogoś tak wrażliwego
Rozpoznamy patrząc jedynie
na siebie
jaki kajal podkreśla nam oczy
tej nocy:
miłości, prawdy,
łez czy kłamstw
Głosy tych,
którzy milczą
nie będą
przed nami dwojgiem
skrywały tajemnic żadnych
A kiedy będziemy trzymać się za ręce
od ciszy naszego śmiechu
zadrży życie w posadach.
