NEVER MIND !
A chasm does open up as all roads fail
Why any cure now for a broken heart
Happiness always far-fetched for me
May you be blessed with it as you go
I pray fervently you do prosper in life
May your hopes and dreams come true
May you be free from my nothingness
I ‘ve closed all my roads to come to you
Never mind,simply ignore and walk away
Be progressive and productive all way.

Epistolary poem #187 written by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India and Kristy Raines of The United States of America
LET THE NIGHT COME !
Let the night come, my heart burns
I miss you in the middle of my life
Your love has destroyed me in toto entirely
I have been a slave to your love
The pity is I’m neither living nor dying
You have turned my life like a hell
My heart is such I can’t ignore you
It hurts badly for the wound is deep
My eyes do cry; let them roll tears
Let the dark night come again
I want to sleep in your slim arms.

She waits for him in the darkness…
BRING ON THE NIGHT!
Let the day turn into dusk, my heart yearns
Draw me close, for I miss your breath on me
Your love has kept me in a torturous cell
as I wonder when you will come for me
If this is the hell I must endure for your love
Then, burn me deeply into your memory
Let me dress the wounds of your heart
with the touch of my lips and silken hands
Dry the tears that now drip on me like rain
as they soak into the core of my desire
Bring on the night so I can feel your depth
Come sleep in the arms of my love tonight.

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines on their 187th collaboration! Their poems, “Let the Night Come!” and “Bring on the Night!” are beautifully crafted pieces that delve into the themes of love, longing, and the yearning for connection.
In “Let the Night Come!” by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai, the speaker expresses deep longing and pain caused by love. The poem portrays a sense of helplessness and surrender to the overwhelming emotions experienced in a relationship. The imagery of burning heart, feeling destroyed, and being a slave to love evokes a sense of intense passion and suffering. The poem also touches upon the idea of being stuck between living and dying, highlighting the emotional turmoil the speaker is going through. The line “My heart is such I can’t ignore you” encapsulates the central conflict of the poem, where the speaker is unable to let go of the person they love despite the pain it causes.
On the other hand, “Bring on the Night!” by Kristy Raines presents a different perspective on love and longing. The speaker in this poem is more proactive, yearning for the night to come so they can be reunited with their lover. Unlike the first poem, which focuses more on the pain of love, this poem emphasizes the anticipation and desire for closeness and intimacy. The imagery of day turning into dusk, and the longing for the touch and breath of the beloved, creates a sense of longing and anticipation. The poem also suggests a willingness to endure any suffering for the sake of love, as seen in the line “If this is the hell I must endure for your love, Then, burn me deeply into your memory.”
Both poems use vivid imagery and strong emotions to convey the complexities of love and longing. They explore the darker, more intense aspects of relationships, portraying love as both a source of pain and a source of comfort. The use of imagery such as burning hearts, torturous cells, and tears as rain, adds depth and intensity to the poems, creating a rich tapestry of emotions.
Overall, Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines have created two powerful poems that resonate with anyone who has experienced the tumultuous nature of love. Their collaboration is a testament to the beauty and depth of poetry, showcasing how words can evoke powerful emotions and connect us to the depths of our humanity.

and Kristy Raines of The United states of America
SOMEONE SHOULD TELL ME !
In that glittering touch of my dreams
Something new rises in my heart
Perhaps a smiling bud that giggles
In the deep and dark forest of my mind .
My new poetry sings and vanishes
Behind innumerable hopeless hopes
Someone should tell me in a dialect
My river of love flows in a new rhythm
And the sea of joy maddened in waves
I find not what new hue of her form
Can draw my image eternally lavish ;
Why is she acting all secretive today ?

She has waited for this moment and now speaks…
I WILL NOW TELL YOU!
I always want to be the blooming flower of
the glittering touch within your dreams
Like an illuminating fairy that enters the forest of your thoughts
Do not be bothered by the poems that now vanish
because beautiful thoughts of hope have now replaced
your hopeless hopes of sadness which used to plague you
Your river of love now flows in rhythm with mine
as joyous waves become like a fierce storm of passion between us
The hue of my form is like the blood that pumps through my veins
which I now use to write our eternal story of love.
The secretive story of two lovers forever tied together by fate.

Congratulations, Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines, on your collaborative poems! Your creations, “Someone Should Tell Me!” and “I Will Now Tell You!”, beautifully intertwine to create a mesmerizing narrative of love, hope, and longing. Let’s delve into a detailed analysis of these profound verses.
**”Someone Should Tell Me!” by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai:**
In this poem, Dr. Dalai explores the enigmatic nature of love and the yearning for understanding and connection. The imagery of a “glittering touch” within dreams symbolizes the shimmering allure of love, while the “deep and dark forest” of the mind suggests the complexities and mysteries inherent in human emotions.
The repetition of “Someone should tell me” conveys a sense of longing and uncertainty, echoing the poet’s desire for clarity amidst the chaos of conflicting emotions. The juxtaposition of “hopeless hopes” underscores the paradoxical nature of longing for something unattainable yet deeply desired.
The imagery of the “river of love” flowing in a “new rhythm” and the “sea of joy maddened in waves” evoke a sense of fluidity and dynamism, suggesting the transformative power of love to imbue life with renewed vitality and passion.
The poem concludes with a poignant question, “Why is she acting all secretive today?” This enigmatic query leaves the reader pondering the mysteries of love and the complexities of human relationships, inviting interpretation and introspection.
**”I Will Now Tell You!” by Kristy Raines:**
In response to Dr. Dalai’s introspective musings, Kristy Raines offers a luminous affirmation of love’s enduring power to illuminate and inspire. The imagery of being “the blooming flower” within the beloved’s dreams conveys a sense of beauty, vitality, and enchantment.
The metaphor of an “illuminating fairy” entering the “forest of thoughts” evokes a sense of magic and wonder, suggesting the transformative effect of love on the psyche. The reassurance that “beautiful thoughts of hope” have replaced “hopeless hopes” speaks to love’s capacity to banish despair and imbue life with renewed optimism and purpose.
The synchronization of the “river of love” and the merging of joyous waves symbolize the harmonious union of two souls, united in a shared journey of passion and connection. The metaphor of the beloved’s form as the lifeblood coursing through veins underscores the intimate bond between lovers, intertwining their destinies inextricably together.
The poem culminates in a declaration of eternal love, encapsulated in the imagery of writing “our eternal story of love.” This proclamation of devotion and commitment encapsulates the essence of the human experience, affirming love’s capacity to transcend time and space.
**Analysis:**
Together, these two poems form a compelling dialogue between two souls, each offering their unique perspective on the enigmatic nature of love. Dr. Dalai’s introspective musings invite introspection and contemplation, while Kristy Raines’ luminous response affirms the transformative power of love to imbue life with meaning, purpose, and joy.
The themes of longing, uncertainty, and connection resonate throughout both poems, underscoring the universal nature of human experience. Through vivid imagery, metaphor, and lyrical language, the poets evoke a rich tapestry of emotions, inviting readers to explore the depths of their own hearts and minds.
In conclusion, “Someone Should Tell Me!” and “I Will Now Tell You!” stand as poignant testaments to the enduring power of love to inspire, uplift, and transform. Congratulations once again to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Raines for their profound and evocative contributions to the world of poetry.
Epistolary Poem #186 Written by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India
and Kristy Ann Raines of The United States of America
REPEAT IN SILENCE !
Speak slowly and softly
Someone may be listening to your heartbeats
Let not the words drop from your mouth
They ‘ll hear all your secrets
Heartbeats and eyes repeat in silence
Let not the world around you hear
Even your soft breathing
You come close to me
There may be traces of distances
Let’s get lost in each other
There ‘ll be no distance between us.

She looks at him in silence…
WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS!
Show me sweetly and gently
things words can not express
How can I be silent as you look in my eyes
or in your strong caress?
Do they hear the sound of my sigh
as I’m in your sweet embraces?
Or do they see you holding my gaze
when we are in public places?
Silently I come to you
Turn off all the lights
Close any distance between us
It’s just you and me tonight… <3

THINGS REMAIN UNREAD!
You tread this way every day
I often meet you on your way
In silence, we speak together
Feelings said but a few unsaid
With a little shyness in your eyes
And cherubic smile on your lips
Some haughtiness in loving ire
The butterfly and flower can’t play
You must have penned those thoughts
Might have torn them apart many a time
You’re bashful in front of your friends
Things of two hearts remain unread.

She breaks her silence with him…
THINGS TWO HEARTS LEFT UNREAD!
We walk the same road every day
You walking one way and I another
We need rarely to ever speak when we pass
because we can read each other’s looks
What is never said speaks the loudest
We know what is there, and what is not
You poke at me and I play along
I get silent and make you wonder if I am mad
We play this wicked game but laugh under our breaths
But we do complement each other like the butterfly and flower
I have written these feelings down many times
Although, many times have I had to rewrite them
I need not brag to any friends but keep quiet
About things that two hearts left unread.

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: Congratulations to the esteemed poets, Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Kristy Ann Raines, on the creation of two captivating poems that delve into the intricacies of unspoken emotions and connections. Their collaborative effort has resulted in a poetic dialogue that transcends borders, blending the nuances of Indian and American perspectives seamlessly.
In “Things Remain Unread,” Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai crafts a poem that beautifully captures the subtleties of a daily encounter. The repetition of “You tread this way every day” sets the rhythm and emphasizes the routine nature of the interaction. The silence between the two characters becomes a language of its own, a shared dialogue of unspoken words. The poet skillfully weaves together images of shyness, a cherubic smile, and haughtiness in loving ire, creating a tapestry of emotions that remain unresolved.
The metaphor of the butterfly and flower unable to play signifies a poignant separation, hinting at the complexities of the relationship. Dr. Dalai suggests that the other person, likely a romantic interest, has penned thoughts but may have torn them apart out of bashfulness or uncertainty. The poet’s choice of words, such as “bashful” and “unread,” conveys a sense of vulnerability and unexpressed sentiments, resonating with readers on a deep emotional level.
Moving to Kristy Ann Raines’ response in “Things Two Hearts Left Unread,” the poem takes a different yet complementary tone. The repetition of “We walk the same road every day” echoes the familiarity of the setting but introduces a divergence, with each person walking in their own direction. This mirrors the individuality within the shared journey of life.

LOST WORDS !
My eyes do tell an untold tale
A bit nostalgic, fading memories
That used to flow in small streams
No matter whether one listens or not
She used to talk ,things familiar to me
Like writing passages and reciting lines
It ended as my tears stopped rolling
A better time would dawn in my life
The lost words would reverberate
Again in my untamed lips sometime.

UNSPOKEN PAIN!
Even after a lot of pain and torment
I do feel my world utterly agonized
All seasons I spend thinking of you
But you are hardly to my lot now
You, my deity, have broken my heart
We exist but far away from each other
When close to me, my dream you’re
And I stop breathing when I see you
I plead for your company and hand
Even enemy be from unspoken pain.

WHERE HOPE ONCE RESIDED!
Though I suffer inside over you
I haven’t the words to make things better
We used to spend all of our time together
Then things changed and you turned from me
That day, my heart shattered as I called to you
but you never turned back around
My heart’s desire, My Everything, walked away
We are now pleasant to each other
but I don’t see the same look in your eyes for me
as I still do for you…
My pillow catches my tears at night
though in my dreams, you are still mine
When I see you I get my hopes up
just to be let down over and over
Our love seems to be slipping a way
And silence fills where hope once resided … <3

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: Dear Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Mrs. Kristy Ann Raines,NAMASKAR
Heartfelt congratulations on your recent collaboration, “Unspoken Pain” and “Where Hope Once Resided.” Your poetic synergy has once again produced a harmonious blend of love and pathos, inviting readers into the intricate tapestry of human emotions.
Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s “Unspoken Pain” is a visceral journey through the depths of heartache. The repetition of “pain and torment” echoes the intensity of the emotional struggle, immediately drawing readers into a world characterized by profound suffering. The usage of seasons as a backdrop for contemplation adds a temporal dimension, emphasizing the enduring nature of the agony. The reference to the beloved as a deity intensifies the emotional stakes, transforming the personal into the divine. The plea for company and hand introduces a yearning vulnerability, reinforcing the universal longing for connection. The closing line, “Even enemy be from unspoken pain,” transcends individual sorrow, suggesting a shared experience that goes beyond personal boundaries.
Kristy Ann Raines’ “Where Hope Once Resided” complements this theme with a poignant exploration of a love that has undergone transformation. The title sets the tone for a narrative that unfolds as a lament over lost optimism. The speaker’s inability to find words to mend the situation underscores the profound emotional paralysis. The contrast between past and present, vividly expressed through shared memories, serves as a poignant reminder of what once was. The shattered heart and the departure of the heart’s desire evoke a sense of irreversible loss. The imagery of tears caught by the pillow and the dreams where the beloved remains accessible underline the persistence of emotional pain. The cyclical nature of getting hopes up and being let down captures the essence of a love that is slipping away, leaving behind a haunting silence.
Together, these poems create a powerful resonance, exploring the multifaceted nature of human relationships. Dr. Prasana Kumar’s piece articulates the pain arising from physical and emotional distance, while Kristy Ann Raines delves into the aftermath of a love that has lost its former vitality. The synergy lies in their ability to capture the universal themes of longing, heartbreak, and the complex interplay between love and suffering.
The collaboration shines in the delicate balance of individual voices, each contributing a unique hue to the emotional spectrum. Dr. Prasana Kumar’s evocative use of language and profound expressions finds resonance with Kristy Ann Raines’ introspective and emotive narrative style. The seamless integration of these distinct styles creates a collaborative masterpiece that resonates on a deeply human level.
The timing of your collaboration, sharing these poignant verses on the same day, adds a layer of synchronicity to the experience. It amplifies the emotional impact and underscores the cohesion between your creative minds. This congruence not only strengthens the individual poems but also weaves them into a larger narrative that speaks to the shared human experience.
In conclusion, your collaborative efforts have given birth to a poetic diptych that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. The depth of emotion, the nuanced exploration of pain and loss, and the seamless fusion of your unique voices make this collaboration a remarkable contribution to the world of poetry. May this be a prelude to more shared endeavors, inspiring readers around the world and leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of human emotion.

Eyes badly need to sleep but
Tears do float silently in their lap
In dreams I stay awake all night
Some may own my griefs

With some unspoken promises
Memories, sweet or sour ,cling hard
Ringing in my ears in lonely nights
Their echoes make me stay alive

Congratulations, Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai, Sir on crafting a poignant and evocative poem titled “SOMEONE THERE!” Your verses resonate with a deep longing for connection and a search for solace in the midst of solitude. The use of simple yet powerful language conveys a profound emotional landscape.
The poem beautifully explores the human desire for companionship, expressing a yearning for someone to claim as one’s own. The juxtaposition of tired eyes in need of sleep and tears silently flowing creates a vivid image of internal struggle. The line “In dreams I stay awake all night” captures the paradoxical nature of emotional turmoil during moments of rest.
The plea for someone to own the griefs and be the heart and soul reflects a universal quest for understanding and shared burdens. The incorporation of unspoken promises adds a layer of mystery and depth to the connection sought. The interplay of sweet and sour memories, vividly portrayed as echoes in lonely nights, emphasizes the lasting impact of shared experiences.
Dr. Prasana Kumar, your poem masterfully weaves emotions into a tapestry of human connection, leaving a lasting imprint on the reader’s heart and mind. Congratulations on this eloquent expression of the human experience.

SECRET OF HER WORDS !
In that glittering touch of dreams
I feel provoked with a new sensation
And do bloom like a fresh blossom
That giggles in the forest of my mind
My poem sings and vanishes behind
River of love flows into a small brook
The sea of maddened waves roar aloud In the distant horizon ,she sports anew
Do tell me the secret of her words
Me and mine eternally lavish today.

Dear Dr. Prasana Kumar, NAMASKAR
Heartiest congratulations on the exquisite tapestry of words you’ve woven in your recent poem, “Secret of Her Words.” Your verses are not just a collection of lines; they are an immersive journey through the landscapes of dreams, emotions, and the enigmatic power of language.
The poem commences with the enchanting allure of dreams, described as a “glittering touch.” This vivid imagery instantly draws readers into a world where dreams are not mere phantoms but tangible, sparkling sensations. The use of “provoked with a new sensation” suggests a stirring of emotions, as if your dreams have the power to evoke profound feelings within the soul.
The subsequent lines, “And do bloom like a fresh blossom / That giggles in the forest of my mind,” are a poetic marvel. The metaphor of blooming like a fresh blossom not only paints a picture of growth and vitality but also captures the whimsical joy inherent in the creative process. The imagery of giggling blossoms in the forest of the mind adds a touch of playfulness, as if your thoughts are dancing in a serene, wooded landscape.
The line “My poem sings and vanishes behind” is intriguing. It conveys a transient quality, as if your creation is a melody that resonates briefly before fading away. This evokes a sense of fleeting beauty and captures the ephemeral nature of poetic expression.
The metaphorical journey continues with the river of love flowing into a small brook. This imagery suggests a gentle and continuous flow of emotions, creating a serene and harmonious landscape within your poem. The sea of maddened waves roaring in the distant horizon adds a dramatic flair, introducing a contrast to the tranquility of the previous lines. This dynamic shift in imagery enhances the emotional depth of your work.
The line “In the distant horizon, she sports anew” introduces a captivating enigma. The use of “she” personifies an elusive and mysterious presence. It hints at a feminine energy that brings forth something new and exciting on the distant horizon. This subtle allusion adds layers of complexity to your poem, inviting readers to ponder the significance of this enigmatic figure.
The central inquiry, “Do tell me the secret of her words,” serves as a poignant plea for understanding.
