Eroticism

Bapon Dev Laru

In the silent language of the body,

words are sometimes unnecessary;

a single gaze is enough

to send a tremor through the blood.

Even before touch arrives,

its anticipation awakens,

and somewhere beneath the skin,

an invisible door quietly opens.

We give desire a name,

then surround that name

with the rules of civilization;

yet desire always knows its own way.

In Freud’s darkened chamber,

dreams return once again;

the light we try to suppress

finds another window through which to burn.

Sometimes it wears the body of love,

sometimes the warmth of solitude,

sometimes it becomes an restless fire

born within the act of creation.

Even an unspoken desire

has its own grammar;

through the eyes, the breath, the silence,

it keeps writing its own dictionary.

Eroticism, therefore, is not merely the body.

It is the mind’s long journey

toward the body,

where desire itself becomes

humanity’s oldest poem.

《爱欲》

巴彭·德夫·拉鲁

身体自有沉默的语言，

言语有时并不需要；

仅仅一道目光，就足以

让血液泛起震颤。

触碰尚未降临，

对触碰的期待已然苏醒，

在皮肤之下某个地方，

一扇看不见的门静静敞开。

我们给欲望起一个名字，

再用文明的种种规则

把这个名字团团围住；

但欲望永远知道该怎么走。

在弗洛伊德幽暗的诊室，

梦再一次归来；

那束我们试图压制的光，

找到另一扇窗口熊熊燃起。

有时它借爱的形体显现，

有时带着独处的暖意，

有时变成一团无法平息的火，

诞生于创造的行为之中。

即便是不曾说出口的欲望，

也拥有自身的语法；

透过眼神、呼吸、沉默，

它持续书写自己的词典。

所以，爱欲并不仅仅是肉体。

它是心灵朝向肉体

展开的漫长旅途，

在这旅途之中，欲望本身

成为人类最古老的诗篇。

My name is Bapon Dev Laru, and I am a poet and writer from Radhaballavchak, a small village in Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. I have been passionate about literature since childhood. Besides poetry, I write stories, songs, and various forms of creative writing.

I am 41 years old and earn my living by tutoring school children. I dream of publishing a collection of my poems someday, although financial limitations have made it difficult so far. I also dream of travelling abroad and exploring the world.

I live with my parents, my wife, and my nine-year-old son. My writing is inspired by life, human emotions, relationships, dreams, and the simple beauty of rural living.

我叫巴彭·德夫·拉鲁，是一名诗人与写作者，来自印度西孟加拉邦西梅迪尼布尔县的拉德哈巴拉夫查克小村庄。我自幼热爱文学。除诗歌之外，我也创作小说、歌词以及各类文学作品。

我今年四十一岁，靠给中小学生做家教维持生计。我梦想有朝一日能够出版自己的诗集，但受经济条件所限，这件事至今难以实现。我也盼望能够出国游历，去见识广阔的世界。
