Love is unmeasured

Basudev Karmakar 1974 (West Bengal , India)



       Love is unmeasured
 
Seasons upon seasons ran fine   
      My love is a mountain;
If I had known yours is a pine,
      Measure won’t go vain
 
Care upon care, truth is great,
          Thy service excels.
No dearth you entrust to fate,
        To know yours rebels!

Affection or Attention, simple mite;
          Very easy to recoup,
Thy love for measurement I fight,
         I’d die nincompoop.
   
I wish for my rebirth once or more,
         How thy love do smell;
How expressionlessly you can adore!
             I know I would fail.

About this poem

It is a romantic poem. A husband knows that his wife cares him much but doesn't know how much she loves him against his mountain like love. He wants rebirth to know but knows he will fail to know even then.
