Voice of the soul by Shreyans Kanswa

The Blurb:

How does it feel to lie just by yourself and delve into the silence. The silence that is a path to deeper self, a self that is unexplored. That same unexplored self can also be regarded as the soul. 

While the time ticks on the clock, a bond with your soul is timeless. Such metaphors are rendered powerless when a conversation is created with oneself. 

These poems mean more than just words, they scream soulfulness. It is rather weird that we go looking for answers outside when all that we have to do is seek deeper within ourselves. The poems are experiences that the poet shares with the world, and these experiences are nothing fancy- they are all moments that the poet experiences with himself. They are questions risen from inquisitiveness and introspection.

How I Felt About The Book:

The book is a collection of 61 little poems.

Each poem takes the reader to a ride on an emotion or feeling about one or the other phase of life. There is poem about birth, death, pain, happiness, relations, nature, technologies and many more.

Honesty, it took me a few poems before I could get in the flow. Each has been penned differently. It deals with the day to day Facts we encounter in our life.

There are poems based on silence, feelings, life, death, pains, relationships, meeting, departure, illusions, eternity. There were some lines which made way in my kindle notes. Like:

They all reached the light

Some before, some after

All claimed that they saw it first

Religions were formed

Rituals were performed

With the absence of love in their heart

They invented the creator

Popularly known as God

Following were my fav among all:

A Dry Leaf

Miracle

Devil

Real

Broke

Redefine

The House of Wood

The One You Think

Another fav line goes as:

I asked him, “Have we ever met before?”

He said, “We have been together forever.”

There were some poems which I could not relate to and a few were too casual considering the theme of the poems. For example, the use of ‘shit’ word in some of them did not go well with me.

Apart from this, it was a decent one time read.
