POESY : IN RESONANT RESPONSE TO A READER

Sharmistha Chatterjee, you are free to interpret poetry as it appears to you. The poet's mind is difficult to access and frequently missed is his intent in a word, a line and in a poem as such. Poetry, thus, ever remains the elusive expression of the poet's thoughts and feelings and it seldom receives resonant readership from minds with variant attuning. 

IN RESONANT RESPONSE TO A READER

But the words that flow from the poet's heart, 
Should they move men, though, they depart 
From the sense, essence of the flow 
To the drift they lend in their own glow, 
Shall fill, fulfil fair muse's rhyme 
And beat to pulse and pulse to chime 
Till merrily, merrily all are done 
And the tide takes on for the run. 

The boat sets sail on windy sea, 
Carries pilgrims of fair poesy 
Beyond the realm of name and form 
Unto the space where there's no norm 
And all are free in ecstasy. 

No law to bind, no form to hold, 
No metre, measure, to catch one cold. 
There no meaning seeks its term 
And poesy flows through spatial worm. 
There be free, my readers three 
To feel thy moods in my poesy.

Composed by Sugata Bose
