Sombre though we were we knew -
For the hearts beneath our skins did throb,
As the surf surged up the sun swept shore
And we lay in repose in gold sands galore -

I do not know if people understand this poem. The incidents in the poem have nothing to do with my present life experiences. I have made it clear that it has emanated from the memories of a distant past life... In the present life I have genuinely loved three women. The first was Smt L, a childhood friend, whom I never really touched in this life. I never felt any physical desire for her. It was as pure as it can get....I could have easily married her (she was available) - but I never felt that kind of commitment for her. Second was Smt S, whom I married. It was not a relationship based on physical desire - but rather a deep spiritual attraction. The marriage brought me in contact with my Spiritual Masters. We spent most of our time happily in silent meditation. The third was Smt H, whom I first met in this life on this PH site. It was again an extraordinary spiritual attraction, which later turned to romantic love. The relationship brought back memories of my past lives. There was a total transformation in my life the moment I met her. The very first moment I saw her, the immediate feeling was Commitment for Life! ! ! And all other worldly desires simply vanished.... Almost all my love poems have been written ostensibly in memory of Smt L, whom I never even touched! ! ! But later I understood that these poems were actually the outward expression of the latent past life memories I had shared with Smt H. Till date I have not written a single poem for either Smt S or Smt H. That does not mean that I do not love them. In fact, my love for them is of the highest quality. In true love, there is no desire to write poetry, for your Beloved herself becomes Poetry for you.... And you begin to sing and dance in that joy, rather than laboriously stringing together worthless stanza after stanza....
Pradhanji, i happened to read this after you left Tvpm. My God! It has come right from the heart.So beautiful, so touching and romantic. The feelings have come out so well, what expressions. Let the words be as it is, Don't alter or modify. it will lose its charm
A beautiful but very haunting write Dr. Pradhan. Your poem is romantic and passionate. Too bad the lovers could not be together. Their departure leaves much to the imagination. Great!
What a lyrical masterpiece! The poem took me to the age of Keats and Shelley. Lovely and charming lyrics. Haunting story. Sad ending and a beautiful positive sweet anti-climax in the end. Perfect poem. One of my favourites, I would say.
An excellent write Dr. The concluding lines have a reminiscent overflow of sweetness found.
If you change the words to lyrics and put them to a melody such as Duke Ellington, A Sentimental Mood, it will make more sense to everyone who may not get it. Listen to song and read poem at same time and you will get it;
