Patradoot Or the Messenger 39 /50

Patradoot or The Messenger 39 /50 English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Originally written in Hindi by my Late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor When in the nectar pond of her mouth, My kiss use to take breathe, dear, Even the pride of the beauties of heaven, Seems faded before her charms, dear letter When during her extreme laughs and passions, The rows of her pearl like teeth appeared, They use to wave like necklace of pearl, In the red shines of her lovely lips, dear letter. The round mark of her forehead used to disappear, Whenever her face shined with luster dear, Also during our love making, When pride ever came in her mind, dear letter. Such lovely face, of the moonfaced my beloved, You would find without a smile dear letter, The face that never bent in self respect, You will find plight full, dear letter. Her limbs which she used to keep covered, With the softness and colors of beautiful silk sarees, You would find them covered now with, Coarse cotton Khadi colorless sarees, dear letter. Seeing her motherland in miseries, And her people unfed and uncovered, She must be wearing that coarse clothes, On her tender body in sympathy of her people, Ravindra Kanpur India 013th Sept 2010 continues in 40 Based on the true freedom struggle story of Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor Protected as per Poetry Soup’s copy write protections Note: If any reader who is not a member of Poetry soup Has any question or queries, they can Send me an email on kapoor_skk@yahoo.com Patradoot in Hindi was originally written by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor around 1932, who was a freedom fighter.

Thank you for the gift of history, I trust we shall be worthy of walking in his shadow, that his legacy will be a foundation for a new tomorrow. I am kindled again by his love and imagination, as a freedom fighter with a pen, I know we have a prize for which we fight. One love

Oh, her clothing changed for coarse clothing. Sad for the misery she must have endured. The image of the silk sarees was lovely. thanks as always for your kind comments. Luv, Andrea

Good day, Ravindra! Nice to see your fresh new post. A nice and refreshing way to end my night. One question if you may answer! Are some of these continued letters centered in Africa? I wanted the other day. Your letters keep getting interesting. Enjoyed and had fun reading the loveliness of her beauty,..Poet D.
