Myriad Musings

Book excerpt: ‘Without poetry we are doomed to half lives.’ A society without poetry is a society without dreams. This book is a bouquet of fragrant flowers with varied hues for lovers of poetry to enjoy. It is an array of bewildering emotions through simple and lucid language resonating the common feelings of all at deeper levels. Each poem underlines a unique inner grain – an utterance with a message. Just like a spider spins a web, I write because I believe that words have magic and touch the heartstrings like none other. Most of the poems begin in delight and end in wisdom, unfolding fresh fragrance as petals. Emotional upsurges find place in few, provoked by some incidents in life. Ordinary and mundane emotions have been woven into poetry reflecting contemporary issues. General apathy of the ‘high and mighty’ towards the masses, the evil faces of the society and the role of destiny are the chosen themes. Some of the poems are rich in lyrical beauty and appealing to the aesthetic sense. Poetry has the power to cut through the crap accumulated in our busy lives and touches us in different ways. It helps us enjoy the joys of the childhood by recalling and experiencing the guileless time, evoking both tears and laughter. My aim is to awaken the slow dying hearts of people of this digital era, using my mental and spiritual adventures. I might have missed the precision or technique but my purpose is pure and truthful.
