Great powerful poem I feel the middle stanza could be left out and it would still be as powerful! Fantastic write! Of course I expect nothing less from you.

Eternal Cuddle
Contrary to conventional interpretation, I find this rather optimistic. While the first line of every stanza brings a new dimesnsion to the text, there is still a light of hope when you throw questions at an incomplete script.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Neighbours Watch
Understanding your poems is one thing and analysing them is another. It seems rather shallow to generalize your poems, but I have found most of them without any leverage, your imagery floods the reader without any support to lean on. A splendid experience reading your poems. Here, in Neighbours Watch, right from the first line you take your readers on a roller-coaster ride talking about the hollowness of bringing down god as a module. Well done, as it were, but my most affectionate protest is in the tense of your last line, 'Neighbours were watching'. -Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Kitchen, that is where substance is prepared. I think I know where you were going with this, I just don't know what it has to do with serendipity.
Anyhow, your metaphors, and poem in general, were fun to read. Thanks for sharing.-Shy Joe

I See My Own Demise
The poem talks about emersion into the abyss as well as about emancipation. It has also touched upon one of the four aspects of Russian formalism (In French, it is called Le jeu de véridiction, or the game of truth or veridiction; in fact it's a play of I, le jeu (play) du je (I))...when it writes 'I am, what I am not. All the four are:
1. I am what I am (Truth)
2. I am not, what I am (Lie)
3. I am, what I am not (Secret)
4. I am not what I am not (Illusion), where the second 'am' (to be) actually means 'appear' (to appear); for example I am what I appear to be, and so on.
Of course one understands why secret has been chosen because the reader sort of recovers from a force majeure, like saved somehow from an earthquake or a volcano upon reading the very frist line:
'Anxiety was touching the mime'; when mime is affected by anxiety, then the truth, or what we know as truth, falls.
An intellectually stimulating read.-Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Woods Of Craft
A wonderful poem. Agree with Supratik sir, lies have a larger than life appearance. Sadly we have been conditioned to live in the vicinity of lies. -Annapurna Sharma, Nellore
The poem talks about the decandance of society which has led to disillusionment of the self. Every depth of understanding is being hijacked by shallowness, getting lost in the jungles of craft.
The truth must meet the lie-alone, in woods of craft.
The truth we are talking about here in the poem can also bring some hope if it were to meet the lie alone in the open, but the challenge is that the lies always are in groups, they are never alone, if they are they might come back to their sense. Supratik Sen, Kolkata

Afraid of whom?
If I have understood you properly, yes, faith doesn't provide all the answers and could be seen as naive sometimes. But it does extend moral courage to see us through the difficult phases of life. Faith to the uninitiated is akin to intellect of the philosopher. -GSP Rao, Hyderabad
