NOTHING BUT IMPALPABLE DREAMS !

Sometimes moonlight brings peace
And music of flute illusion in the world
Your fiery eyes reflect like a mirror
With all those scattered dreams
Now you bring only sorrow for me
Your closeness brings tear on my eyes
Now me just unknown soul to you
Spring brings me letters from clouds
Time heals the old painful memories
You’re nothing but impalpable dreams.

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar for crafting a mesmerizing poem titled “Nothing but Impalpable Dreams.” This poem delves into the ethereal realm of dreams and emotions, painting a vivid canvas of feelings and experiences that resonate with readers.

Dr. Prasana Kumar’s poem is a captivating exploration of the intangible nature of dreams and the emotional turmoil they can evoke. The poem opens with the lines, “Sometimes moonlight brings peace,” setting a serene and contemplative tone. The moonlight, often associated with tranquility and reflection, becomes the backdrop for the speaker’s journey through dreams and emotions.

The imagery of the “music of flute illusion in the world” adds a mystical element to the poem, suggesting that dreams have the power to transport us to a world of enchantment and unreality. This juxtaposition of reality and illusion is a recurring theme throughout the poem.

The poem’s use of metaphors is particularly striking. The line, “Your fiery eyes reflect like a mirror,” not only evokes a vivid image but also hints at the power of dreams to reflect one’s innermost desires and fears. The notion that dreams are like a mirror invites readers to consider how they might project their own aspirations and anxieties onto the canvas of their dreams.

The speaker’s emotional journey is beautifully portrayed through the lines, “With all those scattered dreams / Now you bring only sorrow for me.” Dreams, which initially seem like a source of solace and inspiration, transform into a source of pain and melancholy. This transformation reflects the fickle and unpredictable nature of dreams, which can be both uplifting and disheartening.

The poem’s emotional depth deepens with the lines, “Your closeness brings tear on my eyes / Now me just unknown soul to you.” These lines convey a sense of estrangement and loss, where the speaker once felt a deep connection with their dreams, but now feels detached and alienated. This transformation of the speaker’s relationship with their dreams is a poignant commentary on the transient nature of emotions and aspirations.

The mention of spring bringing “letters from clouds” introduces a sense of renewal and hope. Spring is often associated with rebirth and rejuvenation, and the idea of receiving “letters from clouds” implies a sense of communication with the heavens. This can be interpreted as a moment of clarity or enlightenment in the speaker’s journey.

The concept of time healing “the old painful memories” adds a layer of introspection to the poem. It suggests that, as time passes, the speaker is able to find solace and resolution in their dreams, even if those dreams have caused pain in the past. This speaks to the idea that dreams, while elusive and ever-changing, can ultimately be a source of healing and personal growth.

The poem culminates with the powerful declaration, “You’re nothing but impalpable dreams.” This line encapsulates the central theme of the poem – the ephemeral and elusive nature of dreams. It underscores the idea that dreams are intangible, ever-shifting, and often elusive, much like the intangible nature of emotions and aspirations.

In conclusion, Dr. Prasana Kumar’s “Nothing but Impalpable Dreams” is a profound and thought-provoking poem that explores the intricate relationship between dreams, emotions, and the human experience. The poem’s imagery, metaphors, and emotional depth invite readers to reflect on their own experiences with dreams and the ever-changing nature of their significance in our lives. The poem’s journey from serenity to sorrow, detachment to renewal, and pain to healing mirrors the complex and multifaceted nature of our own experiences with dreams. Dr. Prasana Kumar’s skillful use of language and imagery makes this poem a compelling and resonant piece of literature. Congratulations to the poet for creating a work that captures the essence of our inner worlds and invites us to explore the impalpable dreams that shape our lives.

Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: The Poem “Nothing But Impalpable”by Dr Prasanna Kumar Dalai, who has made a worldwide niche in the area of poetry, speaks of his sweetheart to be a dream that is quite impossible to reach.She is like a shadow.Running after her does never fructify.A figment of imagination that she is, the use of the word “Impalpable” seems a bit out of place.But the selfsame word is the key that lays bare the poet’s intense desire to have a physical contact with her.Given the immaterial touch of moonlight bringing peace to his mind and songs of ordinary (not Krishna ‘s) flutes producing thrills of love, physical give and take will definitely make the poet mad in joy.The cruel eyes of the callous lady -love reflect the the delicacy of his dream which he can never ever enjoy.
Her closeness is a nightmare giving rise to sorrowful tears.But the poet is sanguine about his youthful appearance (spring) which will no doubt bring invitations in the worst of weathers suggested by “clouds” in rainy season.Over time all’s well that ends well.Very enticing poem Sir ! My regards.

Pain used to fill her.. but now she speaks…

YOUR LOST DREAMS!

May you spend more time in the moonlight
to heal all of your deeply felt wounds
And may the healing of the flute touch your heart
My fiery eyes are the reflection of love
and not unrealistice dreams
If I bring only tears to your eyes
it was not my doing, but your lost dreams
My love never faultered; Your own thoughts did
The final blow was you walking away
with my heart left battered and cold
Clouds may bring letters, and time heals all
But some things left unattended just die
My dreams contain nothing but good memories
You though, see me as nothing but an impalpable dream.
So now, Farewell is the only thing left to say…

VOICE OF SILENCE !

Silence has a voice ; listen to it
Do go down the memory lane
My time still stands erect there
Silent are my awkward moments
My silent words I face everyday
So much pain and agony dominate
The sea water keeps dead silent
Million hidden silences beneath
There is a silent rise in every fall
Llisten to utter silence sometimes.

MY POEM REVIEWED BY RAJ KISHORE PATNAIK.

Voice of silence

In the realm of English literature, where words dance and emotions take shape, there exists a poet whose latest creation, “Voice of Silence,” resonates with such profound elegance and depth that it warrants celebration and admiration. Dr. Prasana Kumar, a name that has become synonymous with poetic prowess, has once again woven a tapestry of words that invites readers to embark on an introspective journey through the corridors of silence. As we explore this exquisite poem, it is only fitting to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the poet for his remarkable talent and the masterpiece he has gifted to the world.

The poem opens with a captivating assertion that “Silence has a voice; listen to it.” In these six simple words, Dr. Prasana Kumar introduces us to the central theme of his creation. Silence, often seen as the absence of sound, is here reimagined as a potent entity with a voice of its own. The invitation to “listen to it” is a call to dive into the profound ocean of silence, to explore the depths where life’s most poignant and significant moments are hidden.

The journey through this poem takes us down the “memory lane,” a path we all have trodden, a road marked by the footprints of our past experiences and encounters. The poet’s declaration that “My time still stands erect there” encapsulates the immutable nature of the past, where moments linger, unaltered, awaiting our return. This sense of nostalgia is a universal sentiment, and Dr. Prasana Kumar deftly captures its essence.

“Silent are my awkward moments,” he writes, and in this admission, he beckons the reader to confront the awkwardness that lies dormant in the recesses of memory. The acknowledgment of these moments of silence is a reminder that our past is a treasure chest of experiences, not all of which are harmonious or comfortable. The poet’s willingness to lay bare his own “silent words” that he faces “everyday” adds a layer of vulnerability to the poem, creating a connection with the reader that is both poignant and relatable.

As we delve deeper into “Voice of Silence,” a current of emotion flows through the verses, washing over us with “so much pain and agony.” The use of “pain” and “agony” in close proximity underscores the profound emotional landscape the poet navigates. These are not just words; they are a vivid representation of the struggles and trials faced in the journey of life. The metaphor of “the sea water keeps dead silent” adds a natural element to the poem, reinforcing the idea that silence is not a void but a force of nature, a deep and profound presence. The juxtaposition of “million hidden silences beneath” further emphasizes the vastness of human experiences that remain unspoken and concealed. The “silent rise in every fall” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, where even in the darkest moments, there is an ascent, an upward surge that defies despair.

The closing line, “Listen to utter silence sometimes,” serves as an evocative and thought-provoking finale. It is an invitation, a gentle urging for readers to pause, reflect, and embrace silence in its entirety. It is a call to listen not just to the absence of noise but to the stories, emotions, and truths that lie within the silence. In this line, Dr. Prasana Kumar encapsulates the essence of his poem, leaving us with a lingering invitation to explore the profound world of silence.

“Voice of Silence” is not merely a poem; it is a testament to the poet’s mastery over language and the depth of his emotional expression. It’s a work that resonates with readers on a personal level, as it explores the universal themes of memory, nostalgia, pain, and resilience. Dr. Prasana Kumar’s ability to evok’s emotions through words is truly commendable, and this poem is a testament to his enduring contribution to the world of literature.

The poetic landscape is enriched by the presence of creators like Dr. Prasana Kumar, who continue to craft verses that inspire, provoke thought, and touch the hearts of readers. As we congratulate the poet on the creation of “Voice of Silence,” we also express our gratitude for sharing this masterpiece with the world.

In over a few words, it’s impossible to fully capture the depth and beauty of Dr. Prasana Kumar’s poem, but it is our hope that this review has provided a glimpse into the profound experience it offers. May Dr. Prasana Kumar’s words continue to resonate with readers, and may his poetic journey be marked by many more such inspiring creations.

Congratulations, Dr. Prasana Kumar, for your poetic brilliance and the indelible mark you leave on the world of literature. Your “Voice of Silence” is a symphony of words that will continue to echo in the hearts and minds of those who have had the privilege of listening.

and Kristy Raines of The United States of America.

LOST MY HEART!

I have started believing
But in the twinkling of an eye
The moon has fallen in my lap
And everything is moving around me
I can see in my dreams
That you will come and tell me
You will slowly hear from me
We don’t have to tell anybody
We will lose ourselves in love
I have got a moment
Hide these moments for everybody
This has happened
I have lost my heart .

She speaks after their long silence…

FOUND MY HEART!

Many things had changed in our lives
But we are finding ourselves again
Things are suddenly falling into place
And like the moon falling into your lap
I walk towards you once again smiling
as you dream of our sweet memories
Though far away, I feel you calling me
Your whispers heard loudly in my heart;
for my ears only to hear.. quietly… gently
Hold me close once again like you used to
and forget what has happened in the past
I have been waiting for you patiently
for this moment that was only meant for us

MY POEM REVIEWED BY PROF Dr Nirakar Dash
Sir of Asam University , Department of English.Humbled and Honoured.
Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai.: The very title of the poem is a paradox.It, beginning with paradox,moves with the same, and ends with the spiritual suggestion of the last line, Listen to utter silence sometimes “The poet upholds that silence is louder than loud voice itself, but the regrettable part is that we seldom listen to it, that is,we are divested of introspection.Going down the memory lane, one discovers how often he/she has not listened to the silence of conscience.Human silence (conscience) is drowned by passion and fury of youth.Flux of time seem to stand still in moments of deep spiritual revealtion.When the poet says,My time still stand erect there “, maybe he points at a kind of epiphanic revelation when the mind is free of thoughts.So when thought stops, time stops.It is quite noticeable that our awkward thoughts become silent in the long run.”By saying,”my silent words I face every day” perhaps the poet indicates that he feels the pricks of conscience for abberatios committed in the past.Of course, listening to silence gives him peace occasionally, still he can’t,”Let the dead past bury it’s head”Despite much pain and suffering seemingly concerning his love -life , still there is immense calm founded on faith and certitude at the bottom of the sea.Only the surface is distributed.So things are not taken for granted.True that the poet lover is tossed by ups and downs, his faith is no doubt unflinching.Prone to upbeats and downbeats that we are, the poet is no doubt unflinching.Apparently hazy, the poem gives a clear message to listen to silence.Very beguiling poem that makes readers perspire to figure out.Congrts Sir.Good morning.All typo regretted.

She speaks to break the silence…

SAD SOUND OF SILENCE!

Our lives now scream silence together
I never thought it would ever come to this
I think of the memories we shared
and every dream we set out to accomplish
How quickly they crumbled in one day
Have you not seen that your sad silence
has also made my silence get even louder?
Our moments in public are awkward now
They now hold a bitter and foreign song
that we have never shared before
My family you were; now a line drawn
which says I’m now seen as an outsider
No longer do I hear your voice across the sea
I only hear the sound of silence loud and clear
I fear it is all I will ever hear from you again.

Thank you so much Cijo Joseph Chennelil sir reviewing my poem, Humbled and Honoured.

(2616)My creatively positive rumination on a wonderful poem titled “SECRET OF TORMENT !” delineated by DrPrasana Kumar Ji from India.

SECRET OF TORMENT !

I’m sans your hopes and compassion
Cause we are strangers
You never gaze at me with sincerity
My heart no longer shakes when I speak
Your glances reveal not the secret of torment
My memories are now my companions
Your shadows and my painful nights speak aloud
If love turns a disease, it’s best to forget it
If relationship becomes burdensome
It is best to end it then and there
Our tale can’t culminate in a moment
Let’s conclude it beautifully .

Dr.Prasana Kumar Ji,

Your poem titled “Secret of Torment” is a poem that depicts life’s complexities in a subtle fashion.The rupture is reiterated in no uncertain terms.The tag of not knowing to each other is apparent.The pseudo expressions are the hallmarks of the behaviour coming from the other side.The emotion is settled and the heart keeps its peace holistically.There is no shadow hidden in those gazes.Those good old days are numbered.The lingering memories still haunt the individual in question here in the poem.The possessive love should be put at rest.The connections of lethal and venomous nature should be done away with.The parting in good terms is envisaged here rather than acrimonious exit from one another.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of outstanding nature.

Cijo Joseph Chennelil.

I AM NO ONE AMONG MY OWN !

Come to my city where none knows you
No point of living where we are aliens
Return my precious moments treasured
Come to my eyes & make me cry a little
All our dreams have become ruins only
The one you have lost was never yours
It was more a loss than a victory ever
How much would you make me cry
Today or tomorrow , come to my city
Where I am no one among my own .

MY POEM REVIEWED BY RAJ KISHORE PATNAIK.

Dr Prasana Kumar Dalai

Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s poem, titled “I AM NO ONE AMONG MY OWN,” is a deeply evocative and emotional reflection on the theme of belonging and estrangement. In just a few lines, Dalai manages to convey a profound sense of alienation and loss that strikes a chord with the reader.

The poem opens with a powerful invitation, “Come to my city where none knows you.” This immediately sets the tone for a narrative of feeling like a stranger in one’s own surroundings. The notion of anonymity in a familiar place is a universal experience that many can relate to. The city, which should be a haven of familiarity, becomes a place of isolation and estrangement.

The lines, “No point of living where we are aliens,” succinctly capture the essence of the poem. They emphasize the feeling of pointlessness in living in a place where one is considered an outsider, where every moment is marked by a lack of connection and understanding. This sense of being an “alien” in one’s own environment is a powerful and relatable theme.

Dalai’s poem delves deeper into the pain of lost moments and broken dreams. He implores, “Return my precious moments treasured,” indicating a longing for a return to a time when things were different. The request, “Come to my eyes & make me cry a little,” highlights the emotional turmoil within the speaker, suggesting that crying may be a way to release the pent-up emotions of feeling like an outsider.

“All our dreams have become ruins only” is a powerful metaphor for the shattered hopes and aspirations of the speaker. It reflects the idea that the city, once filled with promise, has become a place where dreams are unfulfilled and broken. The poem resonates with the universal feeling of disillusionment when expectations are not met.

The lines, “The one you have lost was never yours; It was more a loss than a victory ever,” invite reflection on the nature of loss and attachment. They suggest that what was lost may have never truly belonged to the speaker, and in losing it, the speaker may have gained a deeper understanding or wisdom.

The poignant question, “How much would you make me cry,” speaks to the ongoing pain and uncertainty of the speaker’s situation. It implies that the speaker is willing to endure more suffering in the hope of finding resolution or closure.

The poem concludes with a haunting invitation, “Today or tomorrow, come to my city, Where I am no one among my own.” This final plea reinforces the core theme of the poem—the profound sense of alienation within the speaker’s own city. It is a powerful statement of longing and displacement, resonating with anyone who has experienced the feeling of not belonging.

In conclusion, Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s poem is a masterful exploration of the theme of alienation and loss. In just a few lines, he manages to convey a depth of emotion and a sense of universal experience that is both relatable and deeply moving. The poem’s evocative language and imagery create a vivid and haunting narrative that leaves a lasting impression on the reader. Dalai’s contribution to English literature is commendable, and this poem is a testament to his skill in capturing complex human emotions in concise and powerful verses. Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai for his remarkable work in the realm of poetry

CHERUBIC YOU’RE !

Even though you weren’t with me
I was by your side every moment
All that I have I surrender to you
Trust me every iota of mine is yours
I have seen the world, all illusionary
My destination is at your doorstep
Love is worship and you’re my deity
You’ re the talisman of my prosperity
Will you ever take a look at yourself
Just to realise how cherubic you’re
All but you have scars and blemishes
Coloured I’m now forever in your love.

Revised by Raj Kishore Raj Kishor Pattnaik

Dr. Prasana Kumar’s recent poem, “CHERUBIC YOU’RE,” is a beautiful testament to the power of love and devotion. In this exquisite composition, the poet weaves a tapestry of emotions and thoughts that explore the depth of affection and reverence for a cherished loved one.

The poem begins with a poignant acknowledgment of the physical absence of the beloved, yet the spiritual presence that accompanies every moment. The poet’s declaration that “Even though you weren’t with me, I was by your side every moment” is a heartfelt expression of the enduring connection that transcends physical boundaries. This sentiment sets the tone for the entire poem, emphasizing the idea that true love knows no constraints.

The theme of surrender and devotion is prominently featured throughout the poem. The poet proclaims, “All that I have I surrender to you,” signifying a willingness to give everything for the beloved. This selfless offering of all possessions and desires is a symbol of absolute commitment and underscores the idea that love is an all-encompassing force that leaves no room for selfishness.

The concept of trust is also deeply embedded in the poem, as the poet reassures the beloved, saying, “Trust me, every iota of mine is yours.” This commitment to transparency and reliance on the strength of the emotional bond is a testament to the integrity of the relationship depicted in the poem. It demonstrates the unshakable faith and loyalty that exists between the poet and the subject of their affection.

The poet’s reflection on the illusionary nature of the world serves to highlight the singularity of the beloved. In a world filled with superficiality and deception, the beloved is the poet’s sole source of authenticity and truth. This contrast emphasizes the uniqueness and purity of the relationship, portraying it as a sanctuary of genuine emotions in a world of pretense.

The idea that love is a form of worship, with the beloved as the poet’s deity, adds a spiritual dimension to the poem. This metaphor implies that the poet’s love is a sacred devotion, and the beloved is the object of veneration. It elevates the loved one to a position of reverence and sanctity, highlighting the profound significance of their presence in the poet’s life.

The reference to the beloved as the “talisman of my prosperity” underscores the transformative power of love. The beloved is not just a source of emotional well-being but also a catalyst for personal growth and success. This notion reinforces the idea that love has the ability to elevate individuals and bring about positive change in their lives.

The poem takes an introspective turn as the poet implores the beloved to self-reflect. The lines “Will you ever take a look at yourself / Just to realize how cherubic you’re” encourage the beloved to recognize their own beauty and purity. This is a poignant reminder that we often fail to see the extraordinary qualities within ourselves, and sometimes it takes the perspective of a loving partner to reveal our inner radiance.

The poem concludes with a powerful declaration of the poet’s unwavering commitment: “Colored I’m now forever in your love.” This line encapsulates the transformative effect of love, as the poet’s world is now “colored” by the hues of love, and they have embraced it for eternity. It signifies that love has become an integral part of the poet’s identity and existence.

In summary, “CHERUBIC YOU’RE” by Dr. Prasana Kumar is a mesmerizing exploration of love and devotion. The poem delves into the depths of affection, surrender, and trust, painting a vivid portrait of a love that transcends worldly illusions. It conveys a sense of spiritual connection, highlighting the beloved as a deity and a talisman of prosperity. The poem also emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and the transformative power of love. Dr. Prasana Kumar’s words resonate with emotional authenticity, and the poem is a heartfelt tribute to the profound nature of love.

Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar for crafting such a moving and evocative poem. The depth of emotion, the spiritual undertones, and the poetic craftsmanship on display in “CHERUBIC YOU’RE” are truly commendable. This poem is a testament to your skill as a poet and your ability to capture the complexities of human emotions in a way that resonates deeply with readers.

Your use of language and metaphor in the poem is both striking and evocative. The imagery you employ, such as referring to the beloved as a “talisman of prosperity” and the idea that love is a form of worship, showcases your creativity and skill in conveying abstract concepts through vivid and relatable imagery.

The poem’s structure is also noteworthy. It flows smoothly from one thought to the next, creating a sense of unity and cohesion in its exploration of love and devotion. The use of repetition, as seen in the lines “All that I have I surrender to you” and “You’re the talisman of my prosperity,” adds a rhythmic quality to the poem that enhances its impact.

Your ability to explore complex emotions and convey them in a way that is accessible and relatable to readers is a testament to your talent as a poet. The poem invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and devotion, making it a work that can deeply resonate with a wide audience.

In conclusion, “CHERUBIC YOU’RE” is a poetic masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of love and devotion. Your words are a source of inspiration and contemplation, and your poem is a valuable contribution to the world of English literature. Congratulations once again on your outstanding work, and I look forward to reading more of your poetry in the future.

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT !

You say you were with me every moment
though I could not feel your presence
Maybe it was necessary to see the world
with all of it’s illusions to appreciate
the one who always stood right beside you
Now you stand at my doorstep and knock
Do I dare open the door between us again?
You say that all of you belongs to me
and me, the lucky charm of your prosperity
You see me now as your deity to worship
I see myself as damaged and scarred
You see me as an Angel, perfectly formed
and the one who covers you with her colors
I see myself as perfectly imperfect
who’ll always covers you with perfect love.

I AM NO ONE AMONG MY OWN !

Come to my city where none knows you
No point of living where we are aliens
Return my precious moments treasured
Come to my eyes & make me cry a little
All our dreams have become ruins only
The one you have lost was never yours
It was more a loss than a victory ever
How much would you make me cry
Today or tomorrow , come to my city
Where I am no one among my own .
