Love Is An Endless Song Poem by prasanna kumari

Love Is An Endless Song

Rating: 5.0


Taiwan holds me back
nothing does she lack
people, places, palaces
all gleaming in laces

looking at the map
Taiwan in world's lap
big and huge and great are her sap
small and little are for others in the map

Kaoshiung calls me back
nothing does she lack
Love river reflects color of love
mountain breze inspires a thousand dove

kaoshiung beckons me with boom
never can she end in doom
spring mesmerises with her bloom
flowers seduce with the blossom

Kaoshiung keeps me back
full of rapture in her sack
chubby cheeks invite a kiss
left undone, oh! what we miss

Sherry laughs like chattering beads
that reminds us of past good deeds
Cristal won me with her tears
are we not blessed, the poets, the seers

Taiwan tempts me back
Taiwanese art enraptures me
Taiwanese craft fascinates me
Cristal's tears follow me
Love is an endles song

(written after attending World Poetry Festival in Kaoshiung, Taiwan
reading poetry with Nobel laureate Derek Walcott.Sherry and Cristal were interpreter girls who helped us to translate from English to Chinese and vice versa.Cristal cried when we left, such a strong bond of love with four days (March 24-27,2005) -hence this poem

Love river is the name of the river flowing through the middle of the city kaushiung
