Like the heroes and villains, a poet is made not born. There’s a limit of pain that one can endure, even an artist. But how much pain makes one a poet?This anthology is a collection of a first few poems as composed by the author. It covers some of the turmoil the poet had to go through in his life that led him to writing poems. There are various reasons one cannot be with their beloved and at times that pain cannot be captured by some words. We have to accept the pain and live with it. Most of the poems in this collection hover around unrequited love, ranging from the poet’s personal experiences to his friends’ experiences, circumstances he has been a part of, seen, or heard. This anthology even has a poem that describes the very first incident that made him realise that sometimes the journey from solitude to loneliness is just an eye contact.

This is the second anthology of poems by the poet. The poems cover some of the turmoil the poet had gone through in his life that brought him back to poetry. Often people come across and get to know each other, fall in love and get separated for certain reasons; sometimes even by choice. The pain of that separation, at times, breaks some and cannot be captured by mere words. Accepting the pain, living with it and getting used to it, is what one might struggle with. With that pain, they might reflect on life and devote that pain to art. Most of the poems in this collection hover around heartbreaks, and heartbreaks do not always concern a romantic affair.
