Death is My Only Beloved

 Death is My Only Beloved 

#poem 

To weep

as if there is no tomorrow,

to sob in happiness, 

to blubber in sadness, 

to snivel for a reason, 

and to whimper for no reason. 

To shed tears in one’s own pain, 

to bawl in someone else’s pain, 

and to wet one’s garment 

with tears of blood. 

Death is My Only Beloved is a book of poems penned by Laudeep Singh. The books is 270 odd pages long and has some half sketches that are quite relevant with the poems. I liked the feel and the vibe of the book. Though it usually talks about some of the most difficult phase of life we hardly tend to accept. I liked Laudeep's approach and his deep rooted meaning in all these verses. Death is certainly a forbidden topic which we usually choose not to discuss but our fate is inevitable.  This book and it's poems vividly cover various other complicated and simple life nuances like love loss and companionship and how one can overcome these setbacks. Laudeep's reference to his father is touching and I can easily relate to the loss he talks about. The language is simple yet they leave a profound experience. 270 odd pages look too much but believe me you would end up this book in a ziffy and would not complain a bit. I you have lived a life you would certainly come across these life phases and had his share of struggle. A few poems can be considered as dark but yet this is how life is.

This book is a definite read and Laudeep's courage is laudable. More power to you and may you end you writing many more books.

To end with this is how he dedicated the book 

"  ‘Everyone who has a heart that bleeds and eyes that weep.’"
