Critical appreciation of my piem A Look AT Life-41

Here is the review and critical appreciation of my poem A LOOK AT LIFE-41 by eminent poet and internationally acclaimed critic Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil. Humble thanks and gratitude sir.I am greatly honoured

Dear Smruti Ranjaniji,

Your poem titled"A Look At Life-41"is a poem that depicts a love which is an interminable and perennial one that crosses the boundary of this life into the life beyond.When two individuals live in a relationship dovetailed to each other,it is a loving relationship of mutual understandi

ng and tolerance,they share and care for each other all throughout their lives,they are in each other's company in sorrows and joys,they are inseparable from each other in a whole lot of ways,they are made for each other in every respect,the love they have for each other is everlasting and enduring,but one day this bond is broken through death and one is to depart for heaven and the other is left behind without any care in the world,the desolation and isolation would become the companion of one who is left behind,but the assurance is given that their love is not limited to this world alone rather it travels beyond the world,the love between the individuals that is projected in the poem,transcends above death in every conceivable way.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.

A LOOK AT LIFE-41

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

I know not

how to live without you

how can I die 

when are you not around?

my love! be there

with all your passion and grandeur

till I breathe my last in your lap and

lose me in you forever

It seems

since time immemorial

we are with each other

but time has come for

one to bid farewell 

to the other

The single entity we are

a single pair of eyes to

look at the world, a single heart

a single pair of ears to feel life

and smell its fragrance

All along I am with you

feeling me in you

and you in me

enjoying and enduring each moment

of our joy and sorrow

It aches when a single entry

cuts into halves

the soul is made to leave the body

It deeply pains when you

leave the special one you love

all alone

to fight the battle of life

on his own

you know

I can not live without you

but you can live

though there will be

hardly any life in you

In between you and me

there is a thread of love

which will be there

when I will be no more

that love and longing

will make your pain endure  

and let my vermilion shine 

with all its colour

Be sure my love! 

I am always yours

always with you

forever

here and hereafter
