Tropical sunsets in Delhian Nights is a beautiful, soulful, emotive collection of poems. To me, these poems embody two auras of different backgrounds that intertwine with each other like peaches and cream. Both body and soul is felt in each of these poems. My favourites thus far are Delhian Friend, Undying Memory, Peut être and A Walk Through Time. I love Carr’s poetic pieces and her ability to relay the emotions of others so naturally as well, because I know that many of us can relate to these poems. It’s definitely a favourite of mine.
Some of the lines which resonate with me is adapted from her poem, ‘Peut être’, “But some wishes are never meant to be... Some dreams are never to see:
Fruition
But yield to reality’s commission:
Do not seek love or satisfy your heart
Move away from happiness’ path
Look away from dreams so as not to see,
Nothing is as ever as we want it to be...”
This is real.
