If Forever Exists

Book excerpt: The book is a collection of 89 soulful poems that reflect on how any ordinary individual feels, processes and expresses the complex emotions while reacting to the successes and failures of relationships. The poems are presented in thirteen sections, each of which represents a specific phase of the emotional journey of one’s life, love, friendship, family, and relationships. Each poem is a memoir of the author’s experiences at various stages of personal relationships. The poems included in this volume express a range of emotions any adolescent, young adult or grown-up feels such as love & friendship; attraction & infatuations; belongingness & loneliness; togetherness & separation; rejections & acceptances; frustrations & angers; obsessions & passion; successes & failures; confusions and reflections; heart & mind and other powerful emotions. These moments, recounted through the poems in this book, stay with us forever, no matter how much we grow up in age, experience, and maturity. The book is like a time machine that would allow one to reflect back at his or her innocent times and reliving those moments again and again.
