Epistolary poem #216 written and presented by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India
and Kristy Raines of The United States of America
JUST A WORD !
With painful memories, many unspoken
Sandwiched between hope & despair
The winter has nipped all my pleasures
Killing me slowly amidst uncertainties
Me taking bath in a pool of my blood
My heart has built a castle in the wind
Just a word & controversies do pop up
I stand alone in the desert of solitude
For this world won’t love to come again
To get me out of this ceaseless trouble.

She holds out her hand to him…
NEVER QUIT HOPING!
Along with the many painful memories past
And even in deep despair I have never quit hoping
As we’ve grown older I watch you suffering
with the uncertainties of what the future brings
Hold onto your dreams, never letting them die
in a pool of blood you have prepared for yourself
For dreams give life to a heart that feels loneliness
and will spill water into the dry desert of solitude
Reach out for my hand that will forever be there
For I will never let you slip into the darkness
of ceaseless trouble, or disappear into the wind
I will always pull you back into the light of my love.
