Angelina Pandian - Poetry - A Message and reply, 'tween two poets...

'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.......
