It is a torture to be neglected by the very man who has married one and on whom whole trust and love are bestowed by the woman.
In Indian context, particularly in olden days, divorce or separation was never possible and never accepted. It is horrifying to think of a life led by one without experiencing love and conjugal bliss till death do them apart.
A very thoughtful from one whose pen paints memorable pictures in words.
Ah! What a wonderful thought. I certainly agree with you. The last four lines clinches the fact that a woman is certainly equal to man in all respects, that she needs to be respected and to go a step further 'worshipped' for the sacrifices she makes for the sake of her children.
While we have accepted this in religion by a concrete example of "Ardhanareeshwara" where the god and the goddess share the same body and worshipped by all, why do treat women differently.
A thought=provoking poem that should stir the conscience of all male beings.
The thoughts, believes and the truths elaborated in the poem are brilliant. As you have very rightly pointed out, "it is for us to pass or fail in the test". It is in our hands.
It is total escapism to blame fate for our own shortcomings, prejudices and false beliefs.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful thoughts and ideas.
The poem reveals the love and affection, both the horse and its owner share and how they understand each other so well that it is impossible to think of separation.
Horses have always been friend to mankind and history is full of them.
The last two lines sums up the feelings and shows his abundant love for the lovely creature.
It is difficult to imagine the world without Cupid's arrows piecing the hearts of lads and lasses. Life on earth will stagnate and the world will be peopled with men and women wearing wrinkled skins and lustreless eyes. It is better to come to a compromise with Cupid and see that the strike ends soon.
The poem rightly points out the power wielded by words. They can mar or make people's lives, ennoble them or dump them in a pit of darkness, and through the pens of poets and thinkers, they flow like heavenly songs and enthral the reader. Words have immense power and this fact is brought out in the poem quite well.
A really interesting poem oozing sarcasm about people's overt and covert needs. How man's wants gradually increase one after another is spelt out in lighter vein to expose such people.
I like the tone, the presentation and the subtle way of saying how men act in their lives.
The outpouring of a sorrowing heart at the loss of one's wife leaves a reader with melancholic thoughts about death of dear one. The poem ends with a practical and philosophical view of having to live with memories of the departed and lingering sense of loss. A poem that touches one's heart.
A very nice poem (written a format that originated in Cambodia, as revealed) narrating the passage of time from a blushing bride to becoming a mom, and all the observations on the changing figure of the mom-to-be.
Having become accustomed to lying down most of the time, I am sure you may find it difficult to train him to move, stand, sit etc., in the short span of time at your disposal. I am sure you will realise that these activities are a must if Charlie is to fly with you. I shall wait for the details of your next trip with Charlie.
Tell Charlie he must ready himself for the trip that may be in the offing.
The poem is quite interesting to read. The forced togetherness of the poodle and the pit bull has wrong a major change in the outlook of the senior small. It goes to prove that time works wonders with animals as with people and changes in the outlook are possible.
What a charming premise! Whether the demons have hearts that bleed is a difficult question to answer, but I salute you for your brave attempts "to show those demons love".
A wonderful poem, poignant and touching the heart of the reader. While reading the poem, I thought I was standing at a distance and watching the activities of the old man like the writer and sharing the feelings that were welling up in the heart of the old man.
The recounting of each activity is very well done and the narration kept the tempo of the poem till the end.
I am more than elated to read the "Dear me".
It is a wonderful piece of writing and I thoroughly enjoyed and to tell you the truth I have learned a learned by reading it.
As you have rightly pointed out, ultimately everything boils down to one thing. If it is not for the grace of Almighty, we are nothing; we are just clay. It is He who moulds us into what we are now and gives us power to do what we want to do.
The examples of how you have been allowed to become a lawyer is really fine. Even there, the demise of your wife and the arguments that you used to have are the reasons which gave desire to your becoming a lawyer.
Every piece of example given in the text is thought-provoking. I read it twice to enjoy the flow, the expressions and the deep sense of gratitude to the Lord that you have.
This has given me a picture of your life and activities in a nutshell. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feeling through this fine piece of work.
Sometimes when people grow old, reminiscing the past happenings gives them satisfaction and a few moments of happiness. They are able to see the differences between the past and the present quite clearly since they have been part of it. As one nearly almost 80, I too feel like you and share your ideas. Thanks for sharing such intimate thoughts.
It is not unusual to find people having weird ideas, with unorthodox behaviour, often rebellious against the old customs, but with many other endearing qualities. There is place for everyone in this world and we should not have blinkered eyes. Differences will be there and we can't wish them away.
A wonderful poem about walking in the woods. The poem carries the reader along with the writer through all the marvellous scenes that captures the eye and the imagination. Every single scene is etched in wonderful detail and the reader has a lot to see in the woods. My find is full the wonderful images painted by the writer through his flowing pen.
I enjoyed it thoroughly. I had been taken on a walking tour through the woods.
It is said that all the inner yearnings that we cannot express return to us in our dreams. This poem paints a whole lot of wonderful things that happen to a dreamer in loving detail. If dreams make one happy, why not wish for it?
It is said that when love conquers the heart, thoughts find an outlet in the form of poems and flow uninterrupted.. It is not astonishing to find from the mesmerised the poem extolling the beloved in elegant language.
