Epistolary Poem #206 Written by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India and Kristy Raines of The United States of America

UNTOLD TALE OF MY HEART !

You do know the untold tale of my heart
At bottom linger all the unspoken words
I could barely whisper them in my heart
I stay awake all night along with the stars
I gaze at the sky in utter lonesomeness
My heart and soul resonate with solitude
For it’s impossible for me to forget you
I ‘ve already left the whole world for you.

She cries as she writes back to him…

OUR TALE TOGETHER!

The untold tale of your heart I know so well
for my heart recognized yours when we met
The tale is about things always left unsaid outloud
betweem two who will never have a future
I quit looking at the stars long ago
They only remind me of our lost dreams
I now spend time trying to forget you
Our tale together will be one that never changes
and one that will remain like silence in the darkness

Though in my heart, you will remain forever mine…

The poem “Untold tale of my heart”by the title -holder love poet Dr Prasanna Kumar Dalai, is unique in it’s own right.The poet, despite being in love,is himself unable to gauge the depth of his love and affection whereas the other side of the coin does know it.The abundant and inexpressible love of the poet is well fathomed by her which indicates a divine connection of two hearts.The poet’s reluctance to forget and do away with the overwhelming emotions is nicely expressed in the line:’At bottom linger all the unspoken words “Again his unspoken words being audible to the beloved vouch for a love not known hitherto.The lover here is not a “false priest”who “cries from the house top”The profoundness and genuity of love is well pronounced when he says,”I could barely whisper them in my heart”, thereby making a mockery of modern day fake love promises.His sleepless state like that of the peeping stars and gazing at the sky signify the transcendence of all hurdles and limitations that could come in the way which remind us of the Shakespearean words,”Love alters not when alteration finds”His engrossment in her thoughts makes him oblivious of the people surrounding him resulting in a solitariness attributable to him only. The “solitude” the poet speaks of here is not an enforcement, but it is his own proclivity leading to one pointedness as a lover.Compared to the woman he loves, the whole world and it’s allurements are insignificant and so, forshaken.So can he forget her whom she loves by giving up everything?A poem par excellence, Prasanna Sir.Congratulatios and regards.

REVIEW.

The poem,”Don’t Ever Look Back”,by the eminent poet Dr Prasanna Kumar Dalai, is quite unique in which he gives vent to the ideality of his love.Trying with all his possibilities to find a life partner, he deems his beloved to be the only irreplaceable one.He promises to love her so much so that she can never erase him from her mind.Desiring closeness,he says:”I earnestly wish to have you by my side”Perhaps remaining away from him mean out of sight, out of mind.He exhorts her to go ahead in love gleefully without any doubts . The expression “free bird” hints that his love is not possessive.She will be given all latitude.”The road is calling aloud” indicate the poet’s dependency on her and once she has started loving, there should be a decidedness.In the poet’s words: Don’t ever look back and let us proceed “”The sombre night ” implies the dilemma she harbours in her mind about her future, which the poet asserts to be over after she comes to walk hand in hand.He being the fittest candidate in this selfish world, moving away from him will spell disaster for her.Sliping away from his hand will make her slip in roads of life.The word “chant” in the poem reveal the sacred nature of love one hardly comes by .congratulations and respect Prasanna Sir for contributing such a beautiful poem to the field of literature.

Analysis of Prof. Dr. Nirakar Dash’s Review

In his review of “Don’t Ever Look Back,” Prof. Dr. Nirakar Dash offers a profound analysis that delves into the emotional and thematic core of Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s poem. Dr. Dash begins by highlighting the unique nature of the poem, emphasizing its exploration of the ideality of love. He aptly captures the poet’s quest for a life partner, noting the earnest wish for everlasting closeness expressed in the line, “I earnestly wish to have you by my side.”

Dr. Dash’s interpretation of the metaphor “free bird” is particularly insightful, as it underscores the non-possessive nature of the poet’s love, portraying a relationship grounded in freedom and mutual respect. This observation aligns with the poem’s overall tone of encouragement and support, urging the beloved to proceed in life with confidence and joy.

The reviewer also draws attention to the poet’s sense of dependency and commitment, evident in the line, “The road is calling aloud.” This highlights the poet’s belief in the decisive nature of love, advocating for a forward-looking approach without hesitation. Dr. Dash’s interpretation of “The sombre night” as a representation of the beloved’s internal dilemmas is poignant, suggesting that these uncertainties will be resolved through mutual support and togetherness.

Moreover, Dr. Dash underscores the sacred nature of love, as implied by the word “chant,” signifying a rare and profound connection. His review eloquently conveys the poem’s message of unwavering support and companionship, affirming that slipping away from such a bond would lead to a profound loss.

In conclusion, Prof. Dr. Nirakar Dash’s review is a testament to his analytical acumen and deep appreciation for poetic nuances. His thoughtful and thorough examination of Dr. Dalai’s poem not only enhances our understanding but also celebrates the beauty and depth of literary expression.

The one who would always fill my heart
I would be thrilled to have you by my side
I long to live a happy and joyous life with you

It is clear that the voice that calls is yours
I’ll run this race with you and never look back
and these nights of darkness will be behind us
Not ever will I let my hand slip from yours
For time in this life is ticking away
and I don’t want to lose the one

Dear Dr. Prasanna Kumar Dalai, Sir, Namaste

Congratulations on your beautiful poem, “ଟିକି ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ଟିଏ!” Your words have truly captured the essence of hope and longing in the face of life’s challenges. Your ability to convey profound emotions through vivid imagery is truly commendable. Wishing you continued success in your poetic journey.

In “ଟିକି ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ଟିଏ,” Dr. Prasanna Kumar Dalai eloquently paints a picture of hope emerging from despair. The poem begins with the arrival of a ray of light in the speaker’s empty courtyard, symbolizing a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak existence. The imagery of “burning in the flame of your fire” suggests intense emotional turmoil, yet the speaker finds a reason to live through this suffering.

The poem’s central theme revolves around the idea of finding purpose and hope, even when the physical meeting with a loved one is impossible (“ଆମର ସାକ୍ଷାତ ଯଦିଓ ଅଲଗା ଦୁନିଆରେ”). The poet’s use of contrasting images—daylight that hasn’t set and nights that continue to blaze—emphasizes the ongoing struggle between hope and despair.

The speaker finds solace in dreams (“ଘୁମେଇ ପଡି ସ୍ବପ୍ନ ଦେଖୁଥିଲେ”) and looks forward to the first rays of the sun breaking through the distant hills, symbolizing the eventual triumph of light over darkness. The poem concludes with a hopeful note, asserting that darkness will fade, and their waiting will be rewarded with light.

Dr. Dalai’s poem is a powerful testament to resilience and the enduring human spirit, beautifully expressed through evocative language and imagery.

Thank you so much Jatinder Paajee for publishing my poem in Punjabi writer weekly Newyork United States Of America.

Epistolary Poem #204 By Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India and Kristy Raines of The United States of America.

MUSE IN THE DARKNESS !

The morning star you are in my life
Beaming brightly in the darkest world
You often arouse the bizarre stir in me
Of flustered fog in the face of rising sun
You venture out with your daring glint
Like a musky muse in face of darkness
As if mystifying mind of a blushing lotus
Set a swarm of bees ablaze in horizon
With your effervescent amorous prayer
Your radiance melts away all afflictions
With the glistening glow amid dimness
You do shower light into my empty eyes.

After all these years, he is still her greatest love…

THE MOONLIGHT IN MY LIFE!

You are the the moonlight in my life
that still leads the way to our happiness
You steal every passionate feeling within me
like the hummingbird that draws the sweet
nectar from the depth of the honeysuckle
The heat of love we both have for each other
soaks my skin like a misty layer of morning dew
Whispers between us are sweeter than any love poem
and the feel of your hand on my arm still thrills me
When the dawn comes and I feel your gaze upon me
It is the way you still look in my sleepy eyes
that will always make life worth living.

Analysis

MUSE IN THE DARKNESS!

**The morning star you are in my life**

This line sets the tone for the poem, introducing the muse as a “morning star,” a symbol of hope and guidance. The morning star, often Venus, is one of the first stars visible at dawn, symbolizing a new beginning and illumination in the poet’s life.

**Beaming brightly in the darkest world**
–
The muse’s light shines in the “darkest world,” highlighting its role as a beacon of hope and a source of brightness in times of despair. The contrast between light and dark emphasizes the muse’s importance.

**You often arouse the bizarre stir in me**
–
The muse provokes a “bizarre stir,” suggesting a mix of emotions and inspirations that disrupt the poet’s usual state. This line indicates the muse’s ability to evoke deep and complex feelings.

**Of flustered fog in the face of rising sun**

The “flustered fog” represents confusion or uncertainty, which dissipates with the “rising sun,” a metaphor for clarity and enlightenment brought by the muse. The imagery here is powerful, depicting a transition from confusion to understanding.

**You venture out with your daring glint**

The muse is described as adventurous and bold, venturing into the unknown with a “daring glint.” This portrays the muse as fearless and inspiring, capable of challenging the status quo.

**Like a musky muse in face of darkness**
–
Comparing the muse to a “musky muse” suggests an earthy, primal quality. Facing darkness, the muse stands resilient, highlighting its strength and allure.

**As if mystifying mind of a blushing lotus**

The “blushing lotus” symbolizes purity and enlightenment. The muse’s influence is so profound that it mystifies the mind, akin to the way a lotus can captivate with its beauty and symbolism of spiritual awakening.

**Set a swarm of bees ablaze in horizon**

This vivid imagery suggests that the muse’s presence ignites activity and energy, like bees buzzing with purpose. It indicates a ripple effect of inspiration spreading outwards.

**With your effervescent amorous prayer**

The muse’s influence is described as an “amorous prayer,” combining elements of love and spirituality. The word “effervescent” adds a sense of liveliness and vibrancy to this influence.

**Your radiance melts away all afflictions**

The muse’s light has a healing effect, “melting away” the poet’s afflictions. This reinforces the theme of the muse as a source of comfort and relief.

**With the glistening glow amid dimness**

The contrast of “glistening glow” against “dimness” continues the light and dark motif, emphasizing the muse’s ability to stand out and illuminate even in the darkest times.

**You do shower light into my empty eyes.**

The final line completes the transformation, with the muse filling the poet’s “empty eyes” with light. This signifies a profound awakening and a renewed sense of purpose and vision.

THE MOONLIGHT IN MY LIFE!

**You are the moonlight in my life**

This line introduces the central metaphor of the poem, where the lover is likened to moonlight, symbolizing a gentle, consistent source of illumination and guidance.

**That still leads the way to our happiness**
– **Analysis**: The moonlight (lover) is a guiding force that leads to happiness, suggesting stability and direction in the relationship.

**You steal every passionate feeling within me**

The lover draws out deep emotions, akin to how the moon influences the tides, suggesting an irresistible and natural pull.

**Like the hummingbird that draws the sweet**

Comparing the lover to a hummingbird adds a layer of delicacy and precision. The hummingbird’s act of drawing nectar represents extracting and savoring the sweetness of love.

**Nectar from the depth of the honeysuckle**
–
Honeysuckle, known for its sweet scent and nectar, symbolizes the richness and depth of love. This imagery reinforces the idea of love as something to be cherished and savored.

**The heat of love we both have for each other**

The “heat of love” suggests a passionate, all-encompassing emotion shared between the lovers, adding intensity to the relationship.

**Soaks my skin like a misty layer of morning dew**

This simile conveys a sense of gentle, pervasive warmth, much like morning dew covering everything. It emphasizes the subtle yet profound impact of their love.

**Whispers between us are sweeter than any love poem**

The intimacy and sweetness of their private conversations surpass even the most beautiful love poems, highlighting the depth and uniqueness of their bond.

**And the feel of your hand on my arm still thrills me**

Physical touch retains its thrill, indicating a lasting spark and excitement in their relationship.

**When the dawn comes and I feel your gaze upon me**

The dawn symbolizes a new beginning, and the lover’s gaze signifies a continuous renewal and affirmation of their love.

**It is the way you still look in my sleepy eyes**

Despite the passage of time, the way the lover looks at the poet remains tender and loving, reinforcing the enduring nature of their affection.

**That will always make life worth living.**

The concluding line underscores the ultimate value of their love, making life meaningful and worthwhile.

Comparative Analysis

**Themes:**
Both poems explore themes of light and love as sources of inspiration and guidance. In “MUSE IN THE DARKNESS!” the light is a muse that brings clarity and dispels darkness, while in “THE MOONLIGHT IN MY LIFE!” the light is the lover’s presence that guides and sustains happiness.

**Imagery and Symbolism:**
The imagery in both poems is rich and evocative. Dr. Dalai uses the morning star, fog, and bees to convey dynamic and vibrant inspiration, while Raines uses moonlight, hummingbirds, and morning dew to create a serene and tender atmosphere. Both sets of imagery highlight the transformative power of love and inspiration.

**Emotional Resonance:**
Both poems capture deep emotional resonance. Dr. Dalai’s poem conveys an awakening and rejuvenation brought by the muse, while Raines’ poem emphasizes the enduring thrill and comfort of love. Together, these poems offer a comprehensive exploration of how love and inspiration bring light and meaning to life.

**Conclusion:**
The collaborative effort of Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Mrs. Kristy Raines in creating “MUSE IN THE DARKNESS!” and “THE MOONLIGHT IN MY LIFE!” demonstrates the power of poetry to bridge cultural and geographical divides. Their works resonate with universal themes of love, light, and transformation, offering readers a rich and immersive experience. The complementary nature of their poems highlights the unique strengths of each poet while celebrating the shared human experience of seeking and finding illumination in the darkness.

Dr. Prasanna Kumar Dalai’s brainchild,”Muse in the Darkness”, employs a distinctive writing style characterized by its use of vivid imagery, metaphorical language, and rhythmic structure. Through its carefully crafted verses, he explores themes of inspiration, emotional resonance, and the transformative power of creativity.

Dr. Dalai begins the poem with a striking metaphor: “The morning star you are in my life.” This metaphor immediately establishes the muse as a symbol of illumination and guidance amidst darkness. Throughout the poem, the imagery remains vivid and evocative, painting a sensory landscape for the reader.

Phrases like “Beaming brightly,” “glistening glow,” and “shower light” create visual images of brightness and radiance cutting through darkness. These images not only depict the muse’s illuminating presence but also evoke a sense of hope and inspiration.

The use of natural metaphors such as “blushing lotus” and “swarm of bees ablaze in horizon” adds depth to the poem. These images evoke beauty, vitality, and a sense of the organic, suggesting that creativity is a natural force that blooms and thrives in unexpected ways.

The poem is structured into a single stanza of thirteen lines, maintaining a consistent rhythm and flow. This structured form contributes to the poem’s lyrical quality, enhancing its musicality and making it memorable to the reader.

The rhythmic flow of the poem is enhanced by its concise structure. Each line flows seamlessly into the next, creating a sense of continuity and building momentum towards the poem’s thematic climax.

Despite its brevity, the poem conveys a depth of emotion and thought. The concise structure allows the poet to focus on key themes and images without unnecessary embellishment, making each word and phrase impactful.

At its core, the poem explores the theme of artistic inspiration and the transformative power of creativity. The muse is portrayed as a catalyst for emotional and intellectual growth, arousing “bizarre stir” and “flustered fog” in the poet’s mind.

His emotional connection to the muse is palpable throughout the poem. Lines such as “Your radiance melts away all afflictions” and “You do shower light into my empty eyes” evoke a sense of comfort, solace, and profound gratitude towards the muse’s presence.

The poem’s strengths lie in its evocative imagery,metaphorical depth, and lyrical quality. It effectively captures the complexities of human emotion and the transcendent nature of artistic inspiration. The metaphorical language adds layers of meaning, inviting readers to interpret the poem’s themes through their own experiences.

While the poem excels in its use of imagery and metaphor, some readers may find its language slightly abstract or challenging to fully grasp on first reading. The metaphors, such as “musky muse” and “blushing lotus,” require careful consideration to appreciate their intended symbolic significance fully.

The masterpiece,”Muse in the Darkness” is a poem that showcases the poet’s adeptness in using metaphorical language, vivid imagery, and rhythmic structure to explore themes of inspiration and creativity. Its concise yet profound verses invite readers to contemplate the transformative power of artistic expression and the emotional resonance it brings. While its abstract nature may pose a challenge to some readers, those willing to delve into its depths will find a rich tapestry of emotions and ideas waiting to be discovered. Overall, the poem stands as a testament to the enduring power of the muse in illuminating the human experience amidst darkness.
