Endless Wait For Now 100 Love Sonnets

Reflections From The Heart is an anthology of a hundred short poems by three poets. These have all come from a crucible of lived experiences, which have left a deep impression on the poets’ minds, their hearts, and indeed, the core of their beings. They have, all three of them, finely honed sensibilities that have been tempered by all the vicissitudes that they, as individuals, have been through. And yet these speak to all, for they have a universality that makes every reader recognize the emotion that gave rise to them, and the truth that each one of them encapsulates. These poems are not, for the most part, “emotions recollected in tranquillity”. The feelings and emotions that they are imbued with remain within the skeins of the lines themselves, sometimes raw, sometimes a little distanced, but never, really, too far away from the heart. They cannot really be called “tranquil” poems, for the experiences that gave rise to them remain, and disturb even today. Bhaskar Bora’s poems have a power that comes from the circumstances that many of them were written in. A doctor with a flourishing practice, he found himself wheelchair bound after complications from a neurosurgical operation. In his despair, poetry, the writing of it, became a cathartic experience. His life story is moving, and the reader can empathise with the emotions embedded in his poems of that period. But his grit in creating a new profession for himself, that of a restaurateur, his thoughts and emotions on this journey are inspirational, especially as, through his poems we get a first-hand account of both his despair and his courage. His loss of mobility is paralleled by a soaring creativity. And yet, in some poems, there is also a beautiful sense of peace, possibly made more piquant by the prevailing circumstances of his life. This one, as he watches his daughters asleep at night: The princesses sleep in peace Faces glowing in moonlit rooms Duvets pulled, pillows spaced ... (Midnight: Bhaskar Bora) And yet, none of the three poets wallow in any kind of self-pity, nor are these an exercise in navel gazing. No, not at all. There is always, in all the poems, a sense of a wider world, in fact a greater entity, even, in some of them that raise them above the level of unremitting hopelessness to one of hope and a sense of journeying into a brighter future. I may not walk today Tomorrow I may run I may be in pain today Tomorrow is my turn (Tomorrow is my Turn: Bhaskar Bora) And of course, there is the cry of pain, moving and poignant, that pierces the reader’s mind. Pains seen, unseen, Voices heard, unheard As the silence screams Into a deafening noise Laughter, sorrow, anger, despair Melt together in the golden brew. (Dance of the Dead: Bhaskar Bora)

Life is full of tears and smiles.Our delights are shortlived whereas our tears leave a mark on our cheeks. These poems paint colourful pictures of our innermost emotions such as love and hate. Love that sparks with a smile and hate that howls into tears. Simple words have been used to paint a picture of the story behind poems where metaphors and similes play crucial roles to sharpen the image. The colours in the story are embedded in the form of conflicts and contrasts in the poems. Endings are at times sad and leave a mark on our memory whereas some poems end with the happiest colours of the emotions.In Blush of the Rainbow I present a kaleidoscopic view of life and love. Love is all we think about, all we do, and all we know. Love is much more than we can show.

Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino, now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you!" Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda’s love poems caused a scandal when published anonymously in 1952. In later editions, these verses became the most celebrated of the Noble Prize winner’s oeuvre, captivating readers with earthbound images that reveal in gentle lingering lines an erotic re-imagining of the world through the prism of a lover’s body: "today our bodies became vast, they grew to the edge of the world / and rolled melting / into a single drop / of wax or meteor...." Written on the paradisal island of Capri, where Neruda "took refuge" in the arms of his lover Matilde Urrutia, Love Poems embraces the seascapes around them, saturating the images of endless shores and waves with a new, yearning eroticism. This wonderful book collects Neruda’s most passionate verses.

A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE Or, you can call it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother’s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
