Death is not a terminator but a guide with a human face. You seem to have gone a step forward consoling the man in death that his turmoils and turbulences only ended,but not his life. The aching fear, and endless turmoils within the mind while living ends with death. In discussing life of all its pangs and frailties you prepare man to face death with a touch of indifference. You have dealt with all sufferings a man in life undergoes and how all these make life miserable and suffocating. Death stands in between the life spent and a life awaiting.
For you Death seems to be a connective link to another life. It is here unlike other poets, you sound to be different. It may be a means to an end but never an end in itself. You have chosen to celebrate Death for being a panacea for living ills and affliction.
Birth is a celebration whereas Death is a validication.
As in others here too you have attempted a subject that others tend to ignore for controversy. Your simplicity of diction, wonderful exposition of thought, spontaneity of feelings and the uploading of beautiful images help your poems make a soft landing in the mind of your readers. Great presentation sirĮngrossment and a deep sense of attachment Death as such is like a connective train that helps man to undertake the other journey stretching heavenward. Man is like a passenger who boards a train here and gets down somewhere to board another to reach his destination. The use of images with proper analogy, the proper sequencing of lines, the harmony between feelings and words is the beauty of your poem. You are one and Alby Raymond Parackal is another who are very true in their words and of my great adoration. To write poetry with out obscure images and phraseology is the art of a true poet. The diction is simple and the look at life is always in its most natural perception. The introspective nature of writing speaks a look at life and into its myriad mysteries. You have the gift of a genuine poet, the simplicity of expression is the vehicle to carry genuine and true feelings which you are bestowed with. Thanks and gratitude to Prof Dr Rajendra Padhi and Professor Mohan Patnaik, eminent poets and literary critics for their wonderful words of appreciation
