“And we are still here
walking in this maze of perplexing
entries and problematic exits.
No words exchanged.
Even our eyes seldom throw
some letters of compassion or contempt
on each other.
I believe you, and I do so.
I know only you may show
the final door to enter
with no exit that follows.”
― Alok Mishra, Thoughts Between Life and Death

“When we two parted,
there was no agony in either
of the two
who
lived all our lives together,
so close and near,
and so, so dear
one could hardly guess
one from the other.”

“Literary criticism must venture into the dark streets of the unconscious and the mildly lit subconscious of the characters and the authors. However, it must not ignore the aesthetic and the apparent value of a literary work.”

“Though we can eternally debate the poetic inspiration, individual’s poetic truth, and interpretations that may arise, what is important is that poetry occurs. It stirs the minds and hearts, making readers travel to the unknown and see the unseen.”
