Review:
At times, you speak thousands of words, yet you fail to speak everything that your heart wants to convey, and there are very few people who can write Poetry, and describe every corner of your hearts emotions. This book is so apt with the emotions carrying in every poem, the vent you go through, the feel that surpasses you, the emotions that heal you.
The beauty is described so aptly in this book through poems.
And my fav Personal Poems are
‘Man as he is, folly’
‘He is different behind’
‘Say what all you can’
‘Illusion’
‘At the shore’
‘After Innocence’
‘City voice’
Not everyone can write this great. Kudos to the Poet, who has put all his efforts into making this book
