Self-destruction

When reason fails dead religious traditions dominate. So madness and vampires rule world. This new ascent is self destructive.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Catching Butterflies

When a snake charmer loses his calm that is when all of the proverbial hell breaks loose.
here is poetry that doesn't always conform.-crypticbard

Hamlet Wants to Speak

Hamlet suffers from vacillation. Lot of knowledge makes one indecisive. An intellectual spends more time in introspection and consequently acts less. A poet who sees the world in strife feels sorry and becomes studious and poetic. He finds Truth in various forms and his faith in one ‘god’ vanishes.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

A poem is composed of pain. I love this line much. How truly, you depicted it, Satish jee! Feelings of the heart are well expressed.-Padma, Hyderabad

Truth Speaks Lies

Although the last phrase of the last line stumbled me, I really like that first stanza's words: I am writing for the beach / where the moon meets the lake. That phrase is magnificent.
Enjoy effulgent days, and exquisite nights,
unto the exultations of Heaven.-Starward

Deceiving None

The line, “ A star is born, you take on the moon.” Stood out so much to me, the creation of something big, but jumping to the next thing and accepting a challenge you may or may not be ready for and taking that risk. Overall an outstanding poem.-Sel

God's Distances

Will we live till the moon melts? Wonderful expression.... liked it dear poet.-Dr Dillip K Swain

Why Afterword

The poet speaks of his everlasting desire to change the world but the world tries to change the individual. Only the stronger succeeds. The people who succed are the pioneers and innovators who benefit mankind.- Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

The World and You

Who is ever ready to face themselves? I like the images your words conjured in my mind.-Oceanloveisland

The Sunday Ritul

Belong to yourself in?....This does not make any sense in sentence structure or flow of written/spoken English, correct coherent English, that is.
And to be frank nor does the rest of your poem. It's a mish mash of eclectic poetry.
And what does Ritul mean? Surely you mean the word Ritual.
And this was selected, viewed, chosen and won. Ye Gods!
Those are my honest thoughts regarding this poem.
Anyway, salutations to you.-Shaun Cronick

Drink Pure Water

Pride (Ahhamkar) is the reason for many a fight in the history of man. There are always people who rub a pinch of salt on thhe wounds of both winners and losers. A moment of peaceful thought is the best preventive for any strife.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Meaningless Dreams

The poet has a rich heritage. He finds Beauty and love in Gita. There is no euphoria about it but it gives light to the world like a candle in darkness though there is only barrenness in India.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

The Emperor is Dead

With holy words some want to change others to their way. That is a repetitive practice. So the fear of it persists. There should be protection for those who do not want to change their way.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Strange War

Ukrainian war is the theme. A small one is fighting a giant. The indomitable spirit of Ukrainians is defying death.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Relationship

sacrifice in love makes pure relation and pure relation can live anywhere anytime.-MAHTAB BANGALEE

Exiting Fog

Mysterious, beautifully written, I'd love to know the story behind this one?-E Naughton

There is No Center

A philosophic poem based on the belief of multiple births. Physical bodies made of elements perish and again take a shape. The Absolute, God, can be described only through worldly things which are imperfect. The concept of ‘neti, neti’ (na+ iti meaning not this, not this) which says god is other than all the mundane things is the vein of this poem. Very good.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Who Was Ruthless?

One needs to analyze oneself to know his real self. Without this analysis one would be living a blind life. Without trying to be someone who is an icon we should look within to know our real self.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Life At Stake

Life always at stake; life is the name of struggle on the earth; but we need to rescue ourselves from the risk.-MAHTAB BANGALEE

Going In Void

The poem seems suggest that people are living without bothering about what is happening around them. Those who can do something are away and the others will succumb to the circumstances.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Your Self Deception

Just as humans have the instinct to love they have the instinct to hate too. In either of the two one wants to have an upper hand. Fighting with somebody goes on all along life as the instinct to fight is also generally embedded in one’s nature.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore
