Rhythmic Hues

In the moments of sordidness and tumultuous emotions, poetry creates itself' Thus, poetry comes to you automatically when you give up all the barriers of the mind, and feel absolutely free. The string of words is woven post the submission of reason to emotions. The various emotions of love, hatred, anguish play upon the recesses of the subconscious mind like the strings of a guitar to create a music of words; to create Rhythmic Hues. "Rhythmic Hues" is meant to be felt, not analysed. The author crafts vivid images through the written word. These images range across a broad spectrum including the spectacle of nature, the poignancy of a rape victim, a funny proposal, a couple dancing in symphony among many others. Thus, each poem remains an area to be explored by the audience, because, the end of a poem would be the beginning of their thoughts. The incorporated themes include philosophy, tragedy, love, spirituality and erotica. "Beyond the vicissitudes of reason and follies of the mind lies the beauty of the word that pierces the heart and brings a metamorphosis in the soul. Such an attempt is Rhythmic Hues! "
