The Edge of the Cliff: A Collection of Poems

These poems are emotive responses to certain predicaments-personal, social or global – that confront man and pierce his soul. Any sensitive individual would feel lost in comprehending whatever goes on around him in the name of life. These poems articulate the dilemmas and contradictions that plague man. In fact they are the journey of a soul….. there is no goal or destination here…. the journey itself awakens the soul to reality.  Life is a great enigma, a puzzle, and the journey, full of agony and anguish, and yet the journey goes on… Isn’t it fascinating? In every man’s life, howsoever dark and gloomy, there are some sweet, beautiful moments that lend some hope, create a kind of mirage, and man goes on …. Where there is so much callousness and indifference, where man is just groping in the dark, these poems can make you peep within yourself or into the soul of someone, lost in this vast, endless desert, craving to find some meaning in his meaningless meanderings…. they would then be like the sparkling dew drops in the first rays of the sun on a wintry morning….
