"A Letter" is a poem by Indian poet Dom Moraes that explores the theme of love and longing through the metaphor of a letter. The poem begins with the speaker addressing the letter as if it were a person, asking it to "remind" the recipient of the speaker's love. The speaker then goes on to describe the longing and desire that they feel for the recipient, saying that they "burn" for them and that their love is "like a wound."
Throughout the poem, the speaker uses vivid imagery and sensory language to convey the depth and intensity of their feelings. For example, they describe their love as a "star" that "burns" and a "wind" that "blows," suggesting that it is a powerful force that cannot be contained or controlled.
The metaphor of the letter itself also plays a significant role in the poem. The letter serves as a symbol of the speaker's desire to connect with the recipient, even though they are physically separated. The letter is described as "winged," implying that it is able to bridge the distance between the speaker and the recipient.
Despite the speaker's strong feelings, there is a sense of sadness and desperation in the poem, as they are unable to be with the person they love. This is highlighted in the final stanza, where the speaker pleads with the letter to "be my messenger" and to "carry" their love to the recipient.
Overall, "A Letter" is a poignant and emotional poem that explores the theme of love and longing through the metaphor of a letter. Through vivid imagery and sensory language, the speaker conveys the intensity of their feelings and the desire to connect with the person they love, even though they are physically separated.

The clouds can change its shape and it does not have death. They have no rights to do anything if they do not have money. As against the better known Moraes who apprenticed himself to the Romantics, Hoskote emphasises the less familiar Moraes who offered fierce testimony to the twentieth century's dramas of betrayal, slaughter and heroism. That first cigarette from Nissim was apparently more effective than his advice on poetic matters. Even if she was eventually to play Zelda to his Fitzgerald, each one complementing the other in their desire to compete and complement the other with their passionate devotion to drink and to themselves. After his work of creation was over, God felt happy.
