'Scratched on air, <br />Scribbled on water.... <br />Trap me in <br />The prison of words... <br />And call me ''Poem''..... <br />I am that....... <br />Poetry.....' you say. <br /> <br />'Spirit of the forest, <br />The wind and water, <br />Will I not be entrapped <br />When setting <br />A trap for you? ' I ask. <br /> <br />What words can imprison you? <br />Words of fire… <br />Words of power… <br />What words can hold you? <br />Are any strong enough? <br /> <br />You look at me with eyes <br />Of a million stars…. <br />You burn my soul, with <br />A single ray of the sun <br />Mighty you stand alone <br />Yet, I find you in all…. <br /> <br />From the primal beat of drums <br />Through songs sung in ancient days <br />Handed down by word of mouth <br />Your flame is burning still <br />Your Spirit has seen all <br />And surviving all stands <br />Still in sway, an evergreen queen…. <br /> <br />What words can imprison you? <br />What words can hold you? <br />Oh! Ancient of Times, Muse of rhymes <br />Mother of all songs, sighs and poems! <br /> <br />Unless I sit alone and burn my Self <br />Long for you as Radha for Krishn <br />An eternal yearning, unquenched <br />Perform the Penance… <br />Of a thousand sighs! <br />Set a trap and a prison make <br />With words of Love…. <br />How else will you come? <br />Make a nest in my heart <br />And sing a zillion songs <br />Of rapture from my soul! <br /> <br />Message and reply, between two poets...Full Version of….. <br />Premji and Angelina.......<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-a-message-and-reply-tween-two-poets/
