My poem reviewed by honorable reviewer Prof Dr Nirakar Dash Department Of English Assam University.
Humbled & Honoured.
LOST IN A DREAM !
With sprinkling droplets of nectar
The king of seasons has arrived
Love and madness in your blue eyes
Something in the core of my heart
Burns in an unknown fire in this rain
Looking for you I’m lost in a dream
As the dark dusky clouds wander Through out the untamed sky of time
The night passes slowly in my eyes
And despite attempts I can’t sleep.

REVIEW.
********
The poem “Lost in Dreams” connotes aspirations, hopes, fear ,and angst in regard to the fulfillment of love. The poem begins with the emotion of optimism and hope for love ,symbolised by “king of seasons”The lover notices love and yearning in the eyes of the naive and innocent sweetheart.The desire in him to get her burns unrevealed in his heart.
Dark clouds floating in the sky foreshadow something foreboding , causing immense angst. As all mortals are,he is bound to grow old with time. His youthfulness– the king of seasons in poet’s language — will not last long.This angst, which is universal,make him restive, leading to sleepless nights.The poem conveys the feelings and emotions of the poet in particular and all lovers in general.Very attractive poem Dr Prasanna Sir.Congratulations and respects.
