I like the first one, Ravi, this phrase here:
"Love is drum beats to the deer"

also, there is a musical flow to it. Interesting. "Mirabai"
Thanks for the translation.

Uda, don't tell me what's love
Love is water to the fish
It dies without it
Love is drum beats to the deer
They risk their life to hear
Moths burn in love with flames
And I love my Dark One
I kiss his feet.


In the nearest language, it always works.

Thanks for stopping by, Dr. Lokraj. The original poems are at the Internet. I have to look for the links again before I post them here. Regards, Ravi
