Love, Always Rajiv Kumar Sharma

Can you find true love? Yes, but you have to keep it pure says the poet in 'Thirst.' Is love permanent? Well, you need to understand and nurture it as the lovers discover in 'Love... Sadly.' Is love possessive or liberating? Only the lover can tell as conveyed in 'Angry Bird.' The sequence of poems on 'Prometheus' shows that love is not limited to loving an individual (one may be in love with a cause), what price one is ready to pay for love and how one feels when the cause is not justified. The moon becomes a revolving symbol to show the complexities of modern life. The few poems written in Hindi were meant to be written in Hindi only to help you relate to the emotions. Love will never cease to intrigue you as you journey through the book.
