Author: Dr. Prasanna Kumar Dalai

Professor Nirakar Dash’s insightful review elevates the poem’s significance, shedding light on its individualistic essence. The abrupt beginning with “my eyes do tell an untold tale” sets the tone for a deeply personal narrative that may resonate powerfully with those who have shared similar experiences. Professor Dash astutely observes the singularity of this tale, emphasizing that not everyone can decipher its nuances unless they’ve sailed in the same emotional boat.

The portrayal of the lady-love, narrating events indifferent to others’ nonchalant attitude, adds layers of complexity to the poem. The melancholic undertones are palpable in lines like “like writing passages and reciting lines/it ended as my tears stopped rolling.” Professor Dash adeptly highlights the sadistic elements in the lady-love’s personality, providing a nuanced analysis that enhances the reader’s understanding.

Moreover, the reviewer commends the poet’s resilience by acknowledging the hope embedded in the last three lines of the poem. Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s ability to convey a sense of optimism amid the shadows of the past is lauded, offering a glimmer of anticipation for a brighter future.

In conclusion, both Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Professor Nirakar Dash deserve hearty congratulations. The poem’s emotional depth, coupled with the insightful review, creates a harmonious symphony of literary expression and critique. May this collaboration continue to enrich the world of English literature with its profound resonance and thoughtful analysis.

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: The poem,”Lost Words” by Dr Prasanna Ku Dalai carries much weight.His eye speak an untold tale which lovers having similar experience can fathom.All can not read that untold tale because they have not sailed in the same boat.Its a typical individual feeling.The abrupt beginning of the poem with the line,”my eyes do tell an untold tale “is enough to validate this singularity.While nostalgic,he would weep tears.The poet’s comparision of tears to small streams indicate the inconsolable nature of sorrows he passed through in the past.His lady -love used to narrate events that took place long before irrespective of other’s nonchalant attitude.The typicality of the lover’s sorrows and sufferings are again reinforced in the expression,”no matter one listens or not “.A kind of sadism is clearly noticable in the personality of the lady -love when the poet says,”like writing passages and reciting lines/it ended as my tears stopped rolling “Although his present is not sunny, the last three lines of the poem are”rich in hope” The now reticent lover would wax eloquent in future.Very captivating poem,Dr Prasanna Sir.Congratulations.

We walk the same road every day

You walking one way and I another

We need rarely to ever speak when we pass

because we can read each other’s looks

What is never said speaks the loudest

We know what is there, and what is not

You poke at me and I play along

I get silent and make you wonder if I am mad

We play this wicked game but laugh under our breaths

But we do complement each other like the butterfly and flower

I have written these feelings down many times

Although, many times have I had to rewrite them

I need not brag to any friends but keep quiet

About things that two hearts left unread.
