Much pleasure, then from thee, much more, must glow, must flow

Something about the way this reads that lifts my heart and mind taking flight and glimpsing something new. I like these lines: And the rocks melt with the sun And I sunned it with smiles Alluring dreams voyage me

'....With things whose tunes are played out and forgotten Away from books, away from art, the day vanished The heart recognizes thee, alone, alone, alone! Where both deliberate, love is right, the light...' Yea...all right, vivid imagery = imagination used throughout. Interesting. Cheers. Subroto

Dear Siddiqui, It's an amazingly nice tribute to Garcia Marquez and of course Catrina Heart, the lyrical bird.I am particularly impressed by your use of imagery, lyrical presentation with broken lines to form a shape but never forgetting your zenith. i.e Nostalgia. Repeatition of few words has also created an alluring haze around the subject. 'Alluring dreams voyage me Through celestial love Reassure me Remember Chant of innocence story invigorate less memory Recollect me Remember Leaf of a sultry tree Behold blurry hope Reinforce me Remember'---These are the lines that draws my attention. A-10- -Rajkumar
