English Poetry of Shailesh Veer

SAMO NJENA GRAVITACIJA Njeno prezime i moje nije isto, Ipak, kadgod ga pročitam, ili vidim, Slatki osmijeh, nepozvan,  lice mi ozari, a moje srce radost ispuni. Kažu mi, "Ludo si u nju zaljubljen." I ne griješe. Ne znam kako da im protivrječim. Znam da smo mi samo  obični prijatelji. Ipak, ja nju volim. Volim način na koji ustaje, sjedi, hoda, volim kako se smije, priča, razgovara. Zato se klanjam  svakom slogu koji ona izgovara. Neslaganje s njom nestaje prije nego što nastane; da se složim s njom, moja je jedina molitva. Ali, ne zovite to 'ljubav', ta riječ je isuviše mala, isuviše glasna. Ovo je gravitacija. Nečujna Bestežinska Apsolutna. Ona ne čini ništa da me privuče; moj univerzum se  sam od sebe ka njoj naginje. Kada se ona pojavi, sve moje pametne riječi me napuste. Ostaje samo jedna: Ona je najbolja. Ta riječ je dovoljna. © Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer Fatehpur, UP, India  Translated From English by  Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić Novi Sad, Srbija ----------...

Her surname and mine are not the same,   Yet when I read it, when I see it,   A sweet smile rises to my face, unbidden.   My heart lights up. People say,   "You’re mad with love for her." I have no words to deny them.   They are not wrong. I know we are nothing   beyond the faint lines of friendship.   Still, I love her—   the way she rises, sits, walks,   the way she laughs, speaks, converses. That is why I bow   to every syllable she utters.   Disagreement dies before it forms;   to agree with her is my only prayer. Call it not love—   the word is too small, too loud.   This is gravity.   Wordless Weightless Absolute.   She does not pull me;   my universe leans toward her on its own. All my clever words desert me   when she appears.   Only one remains:   She is the best. And that is enoug...

A Janaku is a short, three-line poem with a distinct structure: Line 1: One word, Line 2: Two words and Line 3: Three words. This poetic form doesn't require a specific rhyme or syllable count, allowing for creative freedom. This form was invented by Eileen Tabios, a Filipina poet, and inaugurated on June 12, 2003. This style enables poets to convey emotions and ideas in a concise yet meaningful way.

When she translates my poems into her mother tongue, She captures the essence of my words so true, She translates my emotions, my deepest sighs, And brings my heart to life in her own guise. I think when she translates my work with care, She sits within my heart, with love to share. She captures me, my words, my feelings, my soul, And brings them forth in a language that makes me whole. When we meet face to face someday, I'll ask her, with a curious way: "Are you a magician, with a special might?" "Or is your heart a kindred spirit, connected to mine in sight?" [The poem is a heartfelt tribute to the exceptional talent and dedication of Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić, a renowned Serbian translator and dear friend. Her remarkable ability to translate poetry has not only bridged cultural divides but also forged a deep bond between us. With profound admiration and gratitude, I dedicate this poem to her.] - Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer  (Editor: Micropoetry Cosmos) Fatehpur, U...
