Ephemerals

by Raj Doctor

From the total of seven books that are written till this book is published this is the author’s third book of poems. It is different in a way that it was written in short transitory periods. It reflects the dogma that humans face while growing up and the understanding of LOVE from the perspective of a LOVER who is lost in longing for his beloved, ever introspecting the world around. The interesting aspect of living with LOVE is what is reflected well in this collection of poems. It captures various moods and moments of a LOVER’s mind. As per the author, this collection of twenty-two poems was written in a span of just ninety minutes, in three day with eight short transitory ephemerals. What is presented here is the raw form of the original text, with almost no correction, presented as the author feels was revealed to him without his own consciousness. That is the beauty of these poems.
