You read a poem and suddenly something in your heart speaks up. You are drowned in your own memories and the words just make you fall deeper. This is what the Unanswered Verses was for me.
The Unanswered Verses is a collection of poems written by Tajammul Kothari. The poems are in a collection of three chapters that govern the delicacies namely the mind, the heart, and the soul. The poems take the reader deep into the realism of this life and what it is to live in this world.
The poems express the sentiments of heart so beautifully that the reader can feel the pain, the pressure, the emptiness that the poet endeavors. The poems are very relatable and touch aspects that are very well defined. It is the atrocities of the world that are described, the feelings of a broken heart, the feelings of a child who is neglected and goes on to the wrong path. Some poems submerge you into the feeling of loneliness, not being able to do what you truly want, being caged by this world. By the end of the book, the poet tries to touch on another fact that is mortality and brings the subject through artistic style. The irony is that the poet is expressing negative thoughts, but reading those words somehow makes a person more positive towards life.
