Love\'s Essence will find its Way
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"Love’s essence will find its way” by adventuressmalik
The heart has a kingdom where the lanes are forlorn. Both friends and strangers are welcome. Indeed, the poetic heart is unable to discriminate against another human being : all are friends. “The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.” Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).
“Rainbows, clouds and the winds convey
the painters paint and the musicians play…”
Here we find references to scenes of nature : rainbows, clouds and winds.
“(…) The love of a wide expanse, of the open sky and the wind, a keen eye for effects of light and colour, especially for the transformations worked by dawn and sunset, a power of seizing the more ethereal qualities of a landscape --- these characteristics he has in common with Shelley. (…)” \"SELECTIONS FROM THE POEMS OF BROWNING.\" (Edited with Introduction and Notes by H. A. Needham). London : Ginn and Company Ltd., (c. 1935). Full acknowledgements are made to the authors, publishers and rights-holders.
“Love aligns the thoughts so random…” Love is the impulse that arranges randomness into art and beauty and creates the fabric upon which the poet embroiders.
“A joyous heart just wants to adore,
he wants to fly, he wants to soar….”
“Across the seas and mountains fold,
above clouds where dreams unfold.
In a distant land behind a castle’s moat…”
The poet is a fighter pilot : flying and soaring in the skies, over the seas, mountains, clouds.
“Even without a word or something to say,
love\'s subtle essence will find its way.”
Love has a language of its own, a subtle language.
“Oh, rank is good, and gold is fair,
And high and low mate ill;
But love has never known a law
Beyond its own sweet will !”
--J. G. Whittier (1807-1892)

Ode to a Skygirl
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"Ode to a skygirl” by adventuressmalik
Skydiving is indeed a strange experience. We rise to heights and throw ourselves out, knowing that we are bound to fall to earth by the force of gravity. We leave all to gravity. Indeed, we have no choice. It must be an exhilarating experience. Thus, we explore not only on the ground and on the sea and on the seabed, but also in the air and even around the earth and in space. It’s the insatiable human wish to roam and discover, to find new frontiers and cross them.
Do read my poems on this site. I am posting a series of poems on India. When you click on Comments on my homepage, you can read the comments I have posted on various poets.
Best wishes to you.

Tears can be like showers from heaven.
I\'ll go out on a limb-the truth of life giving showers to the soul as the showers bring life to dry soil so we can bring healing through our tears. Cheers

To Grow up and Grow Out
Bella Shepard said:
Dear poet this poem seems especially significant, given that I am 73 and have passed through these stages of life, with perhaps only one to go. I have watched as my grandchildren, who\'ve now reached adulthood, grew up and grew out. Your seventh stanza \"Cherishable moments...\" , a beautiful philosophy of life. A wonderful write my friend!

To Grow up and Grow Out
novaero said:
This beautiful poem reminds us that life is like a stage, where we play our parts with dramatic flair. We all desire joy, peace, and love, and perhaps a treasure trove of riches. But true wealth lies in happy memories and cherished moments. The mind works through association, growing fondness for what we dwell on. Letting go of attachments can be challenging, but as we grow and live in the present with grace, we create a divine life. Visualizing positive outcomes and leaving worries behind, our thoughts shape the future. 🌌🌺⌛✨

This poem is so sublime! I adore your every stanza, it\'s as if each one builds more and more nuances to what the essence of love really is. It\'s so delightful, and that climactic ending, \"propels us to our goals,\" so wonderfully sums up our endeavors into love. Much love to you, dear poet!

Dearest poet you tackle the very essence of love in such divine rhyming verse. Life, death, love, the great mysteries of existence, and you have captured the mystery of love so beautifully in all of its manifestations, as we reach for something we know is wonderful, but can never quite explain. Love is the experience of \"being\", and your love shines through. These are treasured words you write, thank you dearest poet!

The answer to love, is in the above.
I don\'t know what kind of love would be received from AI? They might look after your interests, If that was the case the heart would be lost. Cheers

Dear poet this is lovely, I\'m smiling as I read words that are so true. \"From what appears on the surface, the reality is much deeper.
The world may be sleepwalking,
but we must pursue our charter\", such words of wisdom and depth. You pierce the shield of superficiality and get to the heart of what is real, We must choose.
