You wish to hang?
Hand around with your inner self
You wish to drown?
Drown in books and music
You wish to shallow?
Shallow down your pain
You wish to jump?
Jump off your self pity
You wish to slay?
Slay the weakness within
You wish to kill?
Kill the Devil inside you
You wish to leave?
Wish to live
- You Wish ( Gypsysoul vol.3)
_______________
Gypsysoul by author Sumitra Biswal is a bundle of soulful poems. It's the 3rd volume and I am happy pick it up after reading vol 1 and 2.
Emotions and thoughts require an open sky like butterflies. If they get trapped inside like butterflies in a jar the soul suffocates and dies.
This collection is an attempt to Frey express one's emotions and thus present the feelings to the world so more can relate to them and feel better.
This book needs to be relished. It's a short collection though with only 18 such pieces. What I like about her poetry is that they are rhymic. And this is my go to style for poetry. More over the words are selective. They are yet so simple but cast a spell on the heart of the readers capturing and transporting them to a simpler dreamy world.
The lines make us introspect and contemplate in what society do we live in and what truly life is all about.
They are accompanied by small colourful illustrations which I consider cute additions.
Altogether the various themes make this collection a bouquet of wildflowers!
