Threads of Thoughts
Welcome to my poem collection, a journey through the myriad landscapes of emotion and introspection. It helps me to explore and heal by articulating the intricacies of life through my poetry. I am thrilled to share this exploration with you through this book.The poems have been written over the past seven years and translated during the past year. It reflects my growth as a person and a poet. Each poem tries to capture the essence of my feelings and reflections during a point in time. From the quiet whispers of nature to the loud clamor of the human heart, these poems span a wide range of themes, including love, loss, hope, introspection, and celebration of life.In "Boundaries of The Mind," I delve into the struggle for self-realization and the journey from despair to liberation. "The Man in My Lake" reflects on betrayal and the swift changes that can potentially alter one's core values. "Ode to Chairs" personifies an inanimate object, evoking themes of memory, neglect, and the passage of time. "Mother" portrays the essence of motherhood as a gift of immense love and sacrifice. "Lost Echoes of the Earth" laments the loss of connection to nature in the face of modern progress.I have translated a few poems into Hindi and Bangla to reach my extended family who live in various states of India. The translation took much longer than initially anticipated and turned out to be quite a learning experience for me. I have also translated some of the poems into Latin to nurture classical antiquity. I hope that readers will be able to connect with the emotions portrayed in the translated version.Writing poetry is a deeply personal endeavor, yet it tries to bridge the gap between the writer and the readers. I hope that these poems will not only convey my thoughts and feelings but will also inspire you to reflect on your own.I thank you for embarking on this poetic journey with me. Your readership brings these words to life, and for that, I am profoundly grateful.With heartfelt appreciation, --Ronok Ghosal
