No Notches Left
Not attempting to progress, thinking that that is the position ordained to him, is not right. Poets and intellectuals should inspire people not to be chained by certain beliefs.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Where Has Love Gone?
Man is blessed with both emotion and intellect. In most of the people emotion dominates. But among intellectuals emotion takes a backseat. When one wants spiritual advancement he has to sacrifice his emotional self. Life would be happier if there is a balance between both.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

It is Difficult to Say Goodbye
Not delving deep makes one simple. An intellectual does not look at the surface and write only about it.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Know Thyself
Understanding others is easy though it appears to be complex. But knowing oneself is the most difficult thing in the world. Reading Gita helps in discovering oneself. If a man distinguishes himself from an animal by using his reason he will understand the ultimate value of togetherness.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Inverted Poetry
The poem has political overtones. People are not bothered about politics. Politicians give gifts to win. Living only by alms from politicians makes one ineffective. Only after total destruction common man wakes up.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

When the Thoughts Break
Poems present the contemporary world in which love takes a backseat. The foundation of civilization is changing and may never return to values of yester years.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Retreating
Man is a guest in this world. He has to retreat. But meanwhile he should not do something without waiting for death.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

You are Trembling
In spite of so much of growth in civilized behaviour still animalism prevails in man.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Deadbeat
The first stanza make me think of someone who has done everything in their power for someone and has been crushed and left without breath in the heart. Has decided they are not willing to find them once they have come back to life.
Just my humble thoughts on the first stanza alone. There is a lot of imagery poured into a piece that is shorter. Amazing details!-Poetic Beauty

What does the Line Say?
Society resists change but probing minds cannot rest without knowing the truth. They are ready to sacrifice their comfort while pursuing what the lines say and what they hide.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

For the Proud God
Adam and Eve are symbols of love. Eve was cheated but Adam ate the venomous fruit for love sacrificing God and Paradise. God’s word faded from their lives and that was the starting point of misery.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

What Do You Mean?
A poet responds to stimulus. People appear to love and believe but it is as useless as lighting candles in moonlight.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Know Thyself
Understanding oneself is the most difficult task in the world. No one is identically equal to anyone. Variety creates differences and results in sorrow. But man should understand that he is more evolved than an animal and maintain his humanness. Only love makes them humane.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Conflict Of Centuries
This makes me think of someone who has lost their love to old age and death. Yet life goes on; pealing a tangerine noticing the red flesh as if absentmindedly.-Poetic Beauty

Silence is Worshiped
Life is a series of experiences of love. But we almost always finally find it deficient. Then life appears to be an empty paper without any meaning. In that situation even the presence of god is doubted.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Glorification
Longing pain words that keep churning. Sounds like deep dwelling sadness and depression.-Poetic Beauty
Blurred Landscape
(Death will not separate fragrance from the rose.) Such a beautiful closure to this write! I love it. Miss Sharon
We leave things and people behind when we discover who we are because people don’t mesh or like the change within us and yes creatures of the night most certainly have their own morality code. This reminded me of the many fantasy books I have read. -Poetic Beauty

Absolutely
Time is full of questions that float whether or not answered because.. perhaps, there are too many unreconcilable answers blotting the observers' understanding?-emmajoygreen
God doesn't answer, Satish, as is the way. The person asks the questions, and the results give the answers, but the questions continue and we are always left guessing.
On and on they go, the questions, and where they end I am not sure. I've long reconciled that they may never end, but I ask them anyway.
Such is life, my friend. And I hope yours treats you kindly.-Ookpik
Many time lack of communication is the down fall in different aspect of our relationship.-Poetic Beauty

Did you Meet an Antiman?
Every man has anti-man within him. Sometimes it manifests in the form of Gestapo. Sensuality and sensibility take a back seat when greed for power, money, woman etc dominates. Man should pick up courage to overcome his negative circumstances.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Weighing the Coins
Happiness and sorrow are the two sides of the coin of life. Life itself is a speck of time in the cosmos.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Strange Shadows
Man wants relate to another. But there is no understanding between the two. Each one is limiting himself with his own selfish aspirations. He is shadowed by himself. In the darkness of ignorance he dies in flames of war like ants.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

A Revisory Argument
I love your poems in this style. The last stanza of this poem compares bleak irony to hope's iridescent and effulgent showers.-S74rw4rd

In Summer Fall
I cannot define your style. I can applaud it (and I do); I praise it, admire it, envy it at times, study it closely when I read your poems, and I let its verbal power wash over me like a great and refreshing seabreeze. But I cannot say what exactly it is. So if you have a name for it, or if it follows a particular pattern or school of verse styles, please tell me. But . . . more than anything else I might request here . . . please do not change it.-S74rw4rd
Noiseless Footfalls
It is inevitable for every living being to die. But one lives in the form of his worthy words. Good words sharpen one’s sensibilities that makes one kind. Those who use words badly may not find their way back.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Half-done
God is real for all believers. For the seekers God is immortal. People follow the seers who realized God. But imposters create doubts on the very existence of God.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore

Life is a war. One by one dies. There is no need to be an epitaph as life of all was the same. There is no purpose in creation as everything including the Sun ultimately gets destroyed.-Rajendra Singh Baisthakur, Nellore
