I am Sweet Spring

Today I stumbled upon a poet named Komitas. Two of his poems made sense to me so they get the honour of being here.

I AM

I am your love,
I am the heat of your love,
Yet lonely...

I am your woman,
You, you are my soul
That I depend on...

Your voice sounded as sudden thunder of love
My soul breathed as an elating lightning of spring...

I breathed your breath deep down my chest
And by your fire I became the poet of the flames...


Only after reading the poem second time it struck me, that it was written by a man and not a woman. I only know of Kailesh Kher who does that beautifully.

SWEET SPRING

Sweet spring,
Flower and bud,
The merry stream,
Sparkling babble,
Green bloom,
Delightful dew,
Refreshing brook

Where did you leave all these...


While reading this poem I was like, what is this, then I read the last line and it made sense.
