REVIEW OF MY POEM SOMETHING I LOOK AT-106

Thanks and gratitude to eminent poet and literary critic Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil and Prof Sir Mohan Patnaik for writing critical appreciations on my poem 'RHYMING WITH LOVE' Thank you so much revered Cijo sir and Mohan sir for your wonderful words of appreciation.
Smrutji,

Your poem titled"Rhyming With Love"is a rendition with adequate description to the minutest details regarding the very concept of love from different perspectives and viewpoints.Real love does adduce the self with that resplendent feeling.The freshness of a person is kept intact internally when true love does have an overwhelming impact on him/her.The true love transcends above space,time,past,present and future.The soundbyte of love is everlasting and enduring.The true love must be nurtured and brought into fruition.If the concept of love is driven by commercial interests,it gets into an arena of no return or it becomes a love of mechanical nature.The true love must be sprouted out directly from the heart,if not it is akin to a deadly love altogether.When the true love comes to stay with a person,his/her heart is emboldened to a degree of enormous nature.The true love does have malice towards none but charity for all.The genuine love gets into the trajectory which is all about the union of two hearts rather than the coming together of two bodies out of lust and carnal desires.The authentic love is all about two souls in deep and profound understanding of each other in every step of the way.If the concept of love is rhymed with the cherished principles of life,then the life gets into that domain of bliss and heavenly ecstasy.Kudos to you for composing such an excellent poem.

Cijo Joseph Chennelil.

Review of sir Mohan Patnaik

Love is  serious and equally a dangerous affair today. It is  a relief that the poet is not in love with a sweet sixteen. He is in love with an abstraction called love. Here the poet as a lover enjoys a rare privilege of finding no wrong with his beloved. No discord, no disagreements, no threat of suicide, and etc take place. Being in love with an abstraction helps the lover never grow old. He finds himself in eternal youth not forced to partake the forbidden fruit. Free from worries of a living partner the lover is left in a state of blithe to compose endless lyrics and Sonnets like the Elizabethans unfolding in them the grace and beauty of his mistress who exists only in his imaginative state of mind.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-106

    RHYMING WITH LOVE

fall in love with love
feel its warmth and beauty
it will not allow  you to grow old
you will remain young forever
if you are true to your love

it never ages
nor it will let you age as long as
you are in love, with its rhythm and rhyme
don't let it silently languish
let it blossom with all its colour
or else you will only make you a machine
devoid of a heart and your true grandeur
keep it burning deep inside
don't leave loving and living
you will be only killing yourself

bathe in the perennial stream of love
let the dirt and filth accumulated
leave your mind and body
open your eyes!
and see how beautiful life is

love never lives with apathy and negativity
ego, suspicion, hatred, jealousy and hypocrisy
get over these, that will make you a lover
otherwise, you can never be in love

not the easiest of things to be in love
it is a hero's bravery, not a coward's longing
always for the loved one, beyond the physical body, its craving and desire
when love is love, the unison, joy and ecstasy
are at a level, totally different of which only a few are aware of
you are to make yourself eligible for the elixir
otherwise, you will be confusing love with lust and deceiving yourself all along

let love and life rhyme
reason and emotion meet
heart and mind work in tandem
the inner and outer you coincide
let life begin unfolding its grace and beauty
living become sheer poetry
and love becomes the only reality
