Petals of Beauty (A Collection of Poems)

In this collection of poems the poet breathes an aura of heartfelt serenity into the brazen world of monotony growing estranged from itself in its selfish pursuits of personal aggrandizement. It infuses an unfettered gusto to the brimless liberty of the soul that is elemental to our being as part of that immutable infinite Nature. It is a sudden leap from the "crags of consciousness" to the mysteriously mellowed "petals of beauty" defying the world of paltry pleasures of a fraudulently fleeting existence. The poems in the collection celebrate wilderness with a hope to exacerbate a sense of belongingness to the world of leaves and flowers. The author leads us happily through the peaks and valleys of emotions till the landscapes, lush and green, completely coalesce into the wilderness of the mind. However, the poems are not escapist in nature, rather they are inquisitive of the deep human motivation and true understanding of the ominous and the beautiful by a troubled psyche lost in the "crowd of credulity". It seems to be a clear articulation of the interior life of the author essentially linked up with the external ambience of wilderness desirous of an eternal renewal of the natural world which is at the verge of utter imperilment.
