Hirdesh's Reviews > Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

"Speechless, my friend,
alone in the loneliness of this hour of the dead
and filled with the lives of fire,
pure heir of the ruined day. "

It was glorious one ! ! !
As I had seen recently in some friend's review and Crossing my other books, I've chosen to read it first which had been waiting for me so long in my shelf.
Well, It's classic poetry with all the poetic devices were glittering in so wonderful form of words along in thread of rhythmic poetry. However, I'm keen reader of profound and deeply influenced kind of poetry, This book was given me same taste for me. I'm glad and ecastic with motion of calm words of poet.

Some of Great lines-
*The numberless heart of the wind beating
above our loving silence.
Orchestral and divine, resounding among the trees
like a language full of wars and songs.

*There were thirst and hunger, and you were the fruit. There were grief and the ruins, and you were the miracle. Ah woman, I do not know how you could contain me in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms!

*I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe ! love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her

*Between the lips and the voice something goes dying.
Something with the wings of a bird,
something of anguish and oblivion

*Upstream, in the midst of the outer waves, your parallel body yields to my arms like a fish infinitely fastened to my soul, quick and slow, in the energy under the sky.

"Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets
to that sea that beats on your marine eyes."

"The water walks barefoot in the wet streets.
From that tree the leaves complain as though they were sick"

*So that 'You Will Hear Me
But my words become stained with your love.
You occupy everything, you occupy everything.

I am making them into an endless necklace
for your white hands, smooth as grapes
