•Love, liberated from the law of
Meeting and Separation!
Salvation is senses eclipsed and
Soul aglow; the enlightenment
Glows Within.•

After a fun-filled weekend, I started my week with this beautiful poetry book and trust me, it’s rejuvenating and blissful read.

Mukul Kumar’s Rhythm of the Ruins is a collection of 53 classic poems revolving around various themes like love, hope, nature, the Slums of Bombay to mythic figures from Greek, Roman and Indian Classics.

Sounds interesting right? It’s a mind-blowing read that captures the magnificence of emotions. The way he expresses the emotions in each poem is amazing! The poems have depth and a story to tell. Loved the topics and themes he picked for the poems. Something different and outstanding.

I loved the poem on Arjuna, Apilki and Psyche, and the poem the Colours of My Self, my sparkling shore and the discovery of love are my favourite ones.

The writing style of the author is rich and mesmerizing capturing the reader’s attention Right from the very first poem to his father. Just like the shades of life, this book is one such book where you will feel the hues of emotions.

Loving how he captures every Lil detail in his poetry that touches the reader’s heart. These poems, you’ll go back to them again and again. It’s that amazing.

With each piece of poetry, we understand how life is different and difficult for each one of us in different ways. Poems like The Air of Morbid, The Corona Times, The Luminous Night and the Rhythm of the Runis are thought-provoking. Loved the way the author subtly expressed some interesting topics.

•‘Love is Divine’ is not an imaginary
Flight of a philosophical mind,
It is an experiential dwelling of
A material heart!•

The poems are deep, dark and tremendous, leaving you with a feeling of heaviness. The author’s words are powerful and soothing, making the readers dwell in the world of emotions. Not to forget an impressive cover!

Love reading poetry? Want to read something different? This is the one!

Summary

Poetry is truly said to be the rhythmical creation of beauty, a beauty that emanates from enchantment and hideousness, ecstasy and agony, castles and ruins. But the redemptive bliss from the poetic phenomenon of ruins assuming rhythm is a divine experience. As I present the work, my sensibility rings with the words of Oscar Wilde- ‘The artist is the creator of beautiful things… No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist’.
