The Hindu concept does not fit this. The myth goes like this: kama appears when lovers love (and only when they do). When the lovers are done, kama has burned to ashes. It is not him to invoke love, but instead lovers making love (being in love) do invoke this god. If Mihai knew that he would not have written these lines. I assume you know Mircea Eliade? ,-)

I am not criticizing your style but the logic of this poem (didn't even go there, please re-read ,-) ) If your poem is a translation,you should say so right from the start. Agreed?

hahaha ok, no problem! Big Grin For me poetry is more of a liquid, it goes wherever it wants gets through every tiny hole. Being inaccurate doesn't mean not knowing Wink
