The Poet's Reward Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

The Poet's Reward

Rating: 4.5


The urge to knock one door
find access to one heart
get one eye to seek more
heal one soul from hurt

that gives all toil's reward
serves all labor's cause
when by touch of one word
is born one ponderous pause

one halt gives a priceless gain
one like a pure pleasure
one word blunts all edge of pain
makes rich of royal treasure

the poet craves for one audience
is not above the greed
lusts one mind's caring presence
one eye's fleeting read

Yes, each poet lusts one mind's caring presence one eye's fleeting read! ! If a poet could heal a soul from hurt or blunt the edge of pain, he has got his reward! Great write! Enjoyed!

It's so true, Pradip! Connection of the mind is everything. Sex is such a pale second (and soon forgotten though still very nice) . Write on dear friend....
