Epistolary Poem #239 written by Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai of India
and Kristy Ann Raines of The United States of America
AN UNREAD LETTER !
The very letter I write in your memory
Turns into a beautiful spectacle of hues
Like that of blooms in the early morning
And stars as night descends gradually
Somewhere a soulful melody is echoed
Suggesting that you’re coming one day
Somewhere a bud nods in the breeze
But feels shy to open its soft petals
Your aroma is spread in my nativity
And I feel like dancing with my shadow
The surrounding is as tempting as you
Your youthful magic makes me go crazy
For you are the beats of my heart
Me a traveller and you’re my destination
I’m very thirsty of your monsoon rain
My paradise is at the hem of your saree.

You… Still the beat of my heart…
I NOW READ YOUR LETTER!
I sigh as I read your letter filled with colors of love
Like a dewy blossom opening in the early morning
I long to be touched by the warmth of your sun
and await the stars that will arouse us tonight
A love song plays softly behind my thoughts of you
as I dream of a time that I felt shy in your presence
Me, Once like the bud of a rose waiting to open beautifully
spreading it’s aroma around an intimate love between us
I still feel for you the same seduction as the first day we met
In your eyes I see the same beguiling temptation you see in mine
Come home, my Traveler, and quench your thirst in my rain
It is here where you will find in me, your paradise
You too, are still the one my heart beats for.
