What made me decide to try the series of i-poems
titled “The Geometry of Loneliness:Confessions of a Lonely Traveler” is beyond any surprise. I must have done
them anyway. These poems were within me, they had already been written on my
soul.
Life, journey, lessons and whatever one leaves behind
as part of the journey of life ended up in these words as poems with only one
intention—bringing them back to life, in a resurrection.
The Geometry of Loneliness is about the journey
of life. These poems are a journey in themselves. They taught me how to feel
intensely about what I, the traveler left behind and how I can look at the
losses and temporary distances with a peaceful mind. The mind was anxious and
tried, but was learning ways to come to terms with the reality of the
journey—that is pain and joy at the same side of the coin.
There was one more reason I tried i-poems, though—I wanted
to repeat my success with them. I wanted to see if my hands can still roll in cadence
with the music of poetry when mostly I spend time with prose fiction; to see if
I still have got the hook?
Not that prose has any music, but the music of prose
is not the same as poetry.
