Two Lives
Craving to write a simple “love” or “mirage”
in a piece of code.
Typing out of a desire
then deleting out of necessity;
“aroma” or “drizzle” or “rainbows”.
In an infinite maze of “ifs” and “elses”
I stand broken, my emotions wrecked.Poetry lost in logical dilemmas,
stories buried in broken thoughts,
characters strangled to meet deadlines,
plots caught in the catastrophes of demands.
Here I am a lost writer,
writing programs for a living.The same 26 letters of the English alphabet,
plus some numbers and symbols –
the narrow strait connecting
my two lives.
Review:
I have always been critical of poem collections by newer poets. I guess, I tend to compare them with the greatest of poems that I have admired since childhood. Having said that, I consciously try to avoid this too. Poems are extension of feelings that came and went, they are expression of something we strongly feel about; and sometimes, a moment that was mundane yet touched a part of us in a certain way. I live on poems, I express through poems and I don’t know what I’ll do without them.
The Blue Rabbit is a collection of 51 short poems that are intricately bound together in a beautiful book. The poems are short, crisp and full of life. There are a range of poems that emote and express feelings in a magical way.
I have always believed that when a collection of poems has a rhythm, the book feels like a pearl necklace and so does this book. The poems are poignant and make you think, they affect you, for a shorter while.
It’s a short read and can be completed within one hour. Language is simple, writing flows and hence can be picked by beginners.
