A Lover's Will
Poet Mahiraj Jadeja has a new collection of 50 poems entitled A Lover's Will. The work covers all aspects of love, from the first questioning ‘What is Love' through poems praising women and lovers to unrequited love. The interaction of lovers who are past the first flush of love, are comfortable in each others company and have an instinctive almost telepathic understanding of each other is explored in ‘As Expected'. In the poem ‘Suicide', the tragedy of a love across a religious divide is sensitively explored.
‘Roles of a Lady' shows the three types of love in a woman's life and ‘A Mother's Wish' speaks of the one love a dying woman is yearning for.

A collection of 50 poems all about different ideas of what love is ~ young love to married love to a Mother’s love to forbidden love.
While I did not connect with all of the poems, there was a good variety that made for a quick read. I can tell that the author put a lot of effort into writing them.
*I am not normally a reader of poetry, but I appreciate the author sending me a digital copy to read. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*

I don't normally read poetry, but I decided to test the waters with this collection. A Lover's Will contains a nice mix of poems relating to friends, lovers, relationships, and more. It is a nice blend that I found to be relaxing, even though I enjoyed only a handful of them.
A Lover's Will was a nice respite from my otherwise heavy reading schedule. Three stars.

It's been a while since I read poetry and I am looking forward to read this book.
What I did not like about this book:
1. I'm having difficulty reading this poem because of the kindle's format.
2. I felt a lack of connection with the words in this book. It doesn't touch my heart. I felt the tone is the same from the beginning till the end.
3. The theme did not catch my attention so much.
However, it is a fast-paced reading. Same as other poetry collections, you can finish reading it in a day.

I read this book via an Amazon-US KINDLE Unlimited download.
For some reason, after reading/reviewing the genres I’ve done recently, I wanted to read some poetry, poetry which encompasses, when I happen to find this collection of 50 poems written by Mahiraj Jadeja.
This collection leaves its readers with a relatively intense emotional yet naive foray into love, and does it in a manner which is both pure and intense. What surprised me the most regarding this poet, is that this poet is a male who must have allowed his feminine side to come out, since the imagines which are created as someone reads these poems are quite vivid, and are successful in showing the personal and subtle feelings of love in an unadulterated state; an unadulterated state some readers have yet to experience.
Given what this poet has succeeded in doing, I’m pleased to give the 5 STARS he deserves in receiving.

In this wonderful collection of 50 poems, you will find poems about love in all its forms - relationships, marriage, nature, hope, and so on. Throughout this book, the author observes events in practical life situations that we all experience every day. Readers will experience a variety of emotions while reading the poems - it is humanity in "For nurse only," tragedy in "Suicide," laughter in "Encounter with a strong woman," the authentic love expressed in "Roles of a Lady," and emotional in "A Mother's wish." The words flow smoothly and with interest. There is a deeper meaning to each poem and the authors use words in a creative way.

A lover's will is a lovely collection of 50 poems from what is love to a lover's will. The words have a sense of innocence at the same time maturity in them according to me. One of the best part for me about the poems is that they aren't merely romantic words put together but has a deeper meaning to it. Queen and Mother of all, these two poems were really touching. I felt emotions are expressed in their rawest and purest form. Poems were literally painting pictures of different scenarios. Indeed a lover's will is to love. Lovely and beautifully penned. Would definitely recommend reading it.

This collection of poetry was a foray into love in its purest form.
It is describing first love, pure love, in a perhaps naive but beautiful way. The novel passes undying love and love borne from adversity. It has a great ability to easily show the different ways that love can take flight. The reader is taken away on a voyage through the many forms of love – friendship, romantic, familiar.
I greatly enjoyed taking a break from more heavy novels in order to read lighter, uplifting prose.

Robin's Review: These are lovely collections of poems about love. Mahiraj Jadeja has a great style and the love flows throughout these works of poetry.
I received complimentary copies of these books but that in no way influences my opinion of these great poetry collections.

This is a collection of 50 poems, mostly about love but also about family life, religion and relationships. Mahiraj is a young Indian poet, and this is first collection. “A Lover’s Will” has already been highly reviewed on Amazon. In these poems, the author dreams of perfect love, and romance.
The poems are imaginatively titled, are generally quite short, and are not in rhyming verse. They use a strong narrative and wide range of vocabulary. The poems are highly evocative, and do inspire the reader to think deeply about all aspects of romantic love.
Highlights for me were;
Poem 7, Making Love in Moonshine – this is a very beautiful, tender description:
“Under the moonshine,
We took each other in arms.
Aroma of her bosom touched my soul,
As we grazed each other thoroughly,
Then the time came to wind up,
God bless that love in moonshine.”
Poem 12, Passing by a Lady – I love the reference to the sky and the stars:
“I started looking at the sky,
It was shining brightly full of stars,
I looked down again towards her,
She herself was a star.”
Poem 13, Summer to Winter – I loved the last line, It echoes my sentiments exactly:
“Who cares about heaven when you have a place in someone’s heart?”
Poem 3, A Love Song – this phrase shows incredible depth of emotion:
“Love can’t be explained – it is a thing to be felt.”
Poem 37, Suicide – this is a brave poem, confronting one of the most terrifying consequences of religion and arranged marriage:
“They took their swords and sticks to set a misconception,
Hindu, Muslim or Christian all says lord is one?
That is love just as gods are one,
But there are many intolerant fools,
Who don’t know humanity?
We reached to the end of cliff,
They stood behind us,
There was no escape but to jump.”
Poem 41, Talk and Talk – this made me laugh as it just so true to life!
“A woman just wants to talk,
Talking for them is like breathing ...”
Poem 42, Opening a Woman – this is very apt. A woman needs love and understanding, not expensive gifts. If only men knew that!
“To opens a woman heart,
A man needs to unlock it,
With the key of affection!
I am impressed with Mahiraj who has taken a difficult task in hand and done a first class job.
Reviewing poetry was a welcome change for me, and I very much enjoyed the experience.
Inevitably when you read love poems you think about your own life and relationships. I am very romantic myself, hate my own company and need to be loved, so I identified closely with them immediately. Mahiraj has expressed himself very eloquently, in this unique and enticing book of poems.
If you want to be transported into a world of deep emotion, thought provoking love and desire, you really must read these poems!

This is a slightly difficult review to write. I never want to disparage an Indie author and the problem here doesn't truly lie with the poetry. It lies with the vanity press that took advantage of the poet. The book is riddled with typographical and grammatical errors that have nothing to do with style choice and everything to do with the predatory system that flourishes in today's publishing world. I suspect that some of these poems are beautiful in the author's mother tongue, and I'm more than a little frustrated that I can't experience their full beauty here. To the author: Take back control of your collection, have a native English speaker help you with the edits, and re-release it. Your hard work deserves more than to be dishonored in this way.

What I Did Like:
-Common theme. I like when a poetry anthology centers around one common theme. This one chooses love and the forms love can take as it’s muse. Good choice.
-Fast read. Poetry collections are always fun because they don’t require a time commitment to enjoy them. You can get through a poetry collection pretty quickly and then, hopefully, think about them for a long time.
Who Should Read This One:
-Poetry fans who believe the poem is more about word choice than white space or shape
My Rating: 2 Stars
Lack of emotional connection, grammatical errors, and missing line breaks make this problematic for me but reviews are subjective and other readers may (and do) feel differently.

The collection’s strength lies in its authentic and encompassing vision. Jadeja does not confine himself to love’s euphoric beginnings. While he captures the initial wonder in poems like “What is Love?”, the work truly shines when it explores love’s mature, quieter dimensions. “As Expected,” which portrays lovers with an instinctive, telepathic understanding, is a beautiful testament to love that has deepened beyond passion into companionship and unspoken knowing. This expansion of theme to include the full spectrum of experience from praise and yearning to comfort and tragedy gives the collection a resonant, holistic feel.
