His words in As One give glimpses of the word “waves” which seem to come out of his profound observations of the sea and oceans.

Dear Readers, there’s lot to read in Robert’s book.  He has penned over 150 poems.  “Isn’t it mind blowing?”  All those who love to read poetry will find this book very interesting who can mindfully go through each one of his writing as one relishes goodies in life.

If you go through his penning on Autumn Leaves, you will find that he has masterfully woven his words around just one topic and that is “Leaves” and written differently about them.  “In measured gusts to eager ground to be held dear in close embrace, or Photosynthetic, now clothed in quite colors of red, amber and gold, they fly high in strong winds or With each leaf memories are recalled of lives lived and lost or Lovers who like leaves, and In their fall, they shone splendorous in glorious hues of red, amber and gold”

His words in As One give glimpses of the word “waves” which seem to come out of his profound observations of the sea and oceans.

I will urge the Readers to definitely go through his writings on Beauty and Pain, Truth, Elude Me not, Truth, The Inner Reality, Stars in the Heaven of Understanding. Resplendent Rainbows, More than the Pen Can Hold which seemed very philosophical and spiritual.

“Behind closed stone walls in cells, black as pitch, where the heart is pained and the soul parched, where hope is lost and torment reigns, this is where the Beloved Enters with lamp in hand to light the way”.  These lines appeared a little mysterious to me because I was not able to comprehend what Robert really wants to convey.  Even then, I would like to have my say in this and Robert, please let me know if anything of these are close to what you wrote.  (1) You are talking of the better-half of the accused or (2) Hope which enters the cell/prison in the form of ray of light.

Robert’s love for nature is much evident in his writings on Beside a Still Pond, Daffodils, I no Longer Hear their Song, In the Sunlight, Lonely Branch, Nature, Petals Fall, Songbird, and White Dove.

His question to Floating Speck of Dust, “I observe your wanderings through sunlit skies.  Do you traverse the moon and defy its gravity, or does it just seem that way?” seem very authentic and thoughtful.

Robert’s lines as in Renewed, “Confirmed, we take up arms: faith and perseverance, arise to boldly challenge, struggle against, dark, engulfing forces, assured, as we move towards our destiny, of His enduring love, timeless mercy” will stay with me. Very profound lines, indeed!

In the Claw of the Eagle his wordings clearly mention about human life, in general, and how each one of us get carried away in worldly schemes, material pursuits, selfish desires, deceit, confusion, and also the exact antonyms of these words like Love, Compassion, Protection, Power, Transformation as in The Heart of the Eagle, and how we can take a renewed flight like an Eagle as in The shadow of the Eagle.

What can be more interesting than reading about a Poet’s journey as in Poetry?  Masterful strokes here.

I loved your writing in The Human Heart and your way of describing it as a land of Prophets and so rich as a fertile ground.  Your description of what exactly is Love had a paradigm shift in my own outlook on love.  “To life a soul, weary, tired, to carry a load, onerous, heavy, to smile in the face of frowns, to extend a hand to souls in disbelief, to speak with words soft as fallen snow, to see beauty in every soul, to give hope and care, wish others well, to do all these and to humble ourselves”

“It knows no boundaries, it permeates creation and eternity, all knowledge is its offspring, it lifts every bird, it surrounds all and only the human heart can resist its force”, your words on Truth has really left mesmerized.

“What wine is this that fills ocean floors, that flows through space, that thrills my soul,that eludes containment, poured from the hand of the beloved and your conclusion that it is The Wine of Life; drink deeply and revive” was something very interesting.  So far, wine to all of us was just an intoxicating drink!

Readers, please go and grab this book and go through it for you will get to read amazing words on his observations on life itself.  He has covered each and every aspect of life which includes Love, Nature, Spirituality and Philosophy.  We wish you every success and we await for your next creation which hopefully should come soon.  All the best, Robert.
