FOREWORD

Distinguished poet Dr. K. K. Mathew's poetry collection book titled "My Heart Sings" is a work of elegant and exquisite literary rendition with much passionate intensities recollected in the domain of tranquillity and serenity. The book is put together with important characteristics such as the exposition related to contemporary issues, the incorporation of the main ingredients gleaned from life, the intricate presentation, a didactic tone and tenor, the sumptuous level of delineation, the systematic versification, the exploration of ideas of transcendental nature and in depth focus upon the transitory nature of this life here on this earth.

The poems of this book are dotted with poetic pronouncements related to detachment and the need to have a holistic outlook towards life in general. The plights and predilections of the lower strata of the society as a result of the evolving economic conditions prevailing in the nation get ample coverage through these poems. The process of baby steps into adulthood is an experience which is the most rewarding learning curve through which the human beings do have to go through to attain discernment of the highest order.

The heaven of freedom is inextricably intertwined with the refined thought patterns emerging out of the interiors of the interiors of the heart. In order to reach that internal liberation, the mind must be deprived of all impurities and cobwebs but that freedom of clarity is today mired in controversies because the minds of the people are cluttered with so many tensions, worries and concerns. The poet's attempt to unveil human nature through these poems does succeed in an exceptional manner.

The emotion of love is dovetailed with the true love which can't be altered when difficulties and obstacles try to put it in the backburner. The immaculate nature of love attains the centre of gravity through these poems. If love is the touchstone of life, then no disillusionment and disappointment can run through us affecting our behavioural patterns in any way. Yes, love must be the sum total of life from cradle to grave and birth to death.

The unshakable faith in the presence of divinity in our actions and reactions can lift up the spirit of us human beings and usher us into the parameters of absolute joy and happiness. The very idea that the God is present in all the animated and inanimated beings of this world is the beginning of real wisdom all the way. The poems in this book envisage for a God experience not confined to narrow domestic walls.

All the conceivable themes drawn from different layers of life get predominant attention in the framework of the poems of this poetry collection book. The paramount aspects brought to light through the poems of this book are the unexpected setbacks, the complex nature of life, the earnest invocation for the safety and security of this world, the unfolding tragedies of the present world and their root causes, the enigma of arrival and departure in terms of life, the description of this Earth as our dear Mother, the need to fortify this world with the principles of humility and humanity and the urgent requirement of this world putting in place a moral fabric of inexhaustible nature around it.

Over the years, eminent poet Dr K. K. Mathew has emerged as a force to reckon with in the world of poetry. I am so amazed by his rise to the pyramid of the poetry of simplicity, unique style and novel wavelength. Let his poetic mind soar high in years to come to compose poems of

comprehensive consequences. My best wishes to him always pertaining to his poetic endeavours.

DESIRE OF HEART

Out of the rocky land the budCame up in the heat of the sunIt grows up, the rock behind didn’tTouch it, it bends with the heat,Thin and fragile, but didn’t dryThe leaves spring out, but torn intoPieces by insects, plant start dryingTo fall down, at last merged with theEarth, it accepted plant with both hands,Mother earth moved by plant's sorrow,The rock behind woke up, its kindnessAnd love arose, a beautiful flower on it.


DEW

Transparency of heart vaporisesTo heaven, it condenses, dripsDown into my heart, me cooled;It also falls on nature, on leaves,On flowers, on grass, nature cooled;The heaven blesses man as well asNature, it is the tranquility of heart,Of nature, it purifies dirt everywhere;The tranquil dewdrops is the purestOf all as divinity in it, telling the world,God still blesses everyone, but dirt spoilsIt; may the dew fall on dirt and purify it.

EXTENDED PATIENCE

Outer mind to be stretched to maximum,Impossible for a hard mind to achieveAs hardness due to the dirt inside, theWorldly passions interlaced with partsOf the mind, act as cement made mind hard;But the faith weakens the worldly passions,Mind becomes stretchable, it is stretched toAny extent, mind becomes flexible, enduranceTo the maximum achieved when it facesAdversity, mind could face anything severeAt any time, it can wait for any number ofDays, months or years for the result to come.


FOLLY OF WHAT IS BEING DONE TODAY

Today the practical wisdom is lost as thereIs no basis practically telling God, confusionIn everybody’s heart , no one explains howGod comes in human heart, how to be nearerTo God, how to communicate with Him directly;All what we do to tell, to preach the goodnessOf God from the scripture written decades ago,Millenniums ago, the culture, the living, entirelyDifferent that time, the crux of the scripture toBe found out, that is the same today and in future,The words of God is the same in the past, todayAnd in future; God is talking to man today, toeveryone but man doesn’t hear the words, why?That aspect to be explained to man, teach himIf possible; then man could hear directly fromGod, it is the Gospel of today, how is it possible?Surrender completely to God, develop unbreakableFaith in God; for that one has to pass through many,Many, stringent trials, holding tightly on faith in God,Then man won’t fall down, his faith strengthenedWith each trial and at last faith becomes a big rope,Quite unbreakable; then the excessive worldlyPassions disappear one by one, deep senses open,Man hears the words of God, man is guided by soul,As soul is released from the excessive compression byWorldly passions, he becomes fully dependent on GodAnd he starts living with God and in God; everyone mustLearn this truth and infused in practical life; man hears theWords of God and he lives by the words, he finds solution toAll problems and calamities himself; it is the gospel of today.


GATEWAY

The most perplexed act to do isTo find the inroad to the wayThat traverses to internal plum,To the goodness hidden in meAnd I stride forward, I try toAttain strength to move pastThe trouble of having me in meAnd get the nod from inner selfTo find the gateway to brightnessFrom the dusk of the shaded light;The gate opened and I am in, slowlyMoving to scale the big hill with so muchEase that I am confident to reach summit.


GOD-SENT

Why not world realise Corona God-sent?Spreading from North Pole to South PoleEvery nook and corner of earth in threeMonths, can’t be without touch of the super-Power; when God guides how can the manStop it, the biggest tragedy from beginningOf world, putting everyone in utter insecurityThe phobia much severe than actual Corona;What does Corona teach, be contented, neverBe greedy, what you have is enough, nothingMore needed; live with God and live for God,Corona runs away when God blows very little.

THE END

What is the end of my thought?Where does my feelings end?It is the pinnacle of me, the peakOf my thought; what is that?It is emptiness, nothing thereIt is the summit of my thoughts,The end of the chapter of meThe chapter closed, new one opens,It is the book on soul, first chapterGenuine thinking for a purpose,The aim of human life is a dissectionOf outer mind, dissected out layerBy layer with intense faith in God,It is quest, the search of newerHorizons of life, from hardness toSoftness, then to delicate, to tranquil,Then to nothingness, a vacuum, theNever-ending horizon where everythingThere, the cream of everything, ultraElectron microscopic components, floatingIn the vacuum, the eternity, the infinityWhere no beginning and no end, from thereHuman being originates, the extreme end ofHuman thought, the pinnacle of human feeling,The matter of extreme happiness, peace andTranquility, where everything in human ends,There it is a super fine feel, super perception,The super variety of human thought or feeling,The top most of human being, which is attainable,If the search of human life perfect, it is the end.

TRUTHFUL

The boat sails over the roaring seaTidal waves up, boat passes throughThe storm, it encircles but doesn’tSink, now it is on its way to destiny.The truthful life, path is not smooth,The storm and tidal waves in front,But holding on the truth tightly, thePath becomes perilous, hold on tightly,Don’t give way, the thorny path cleared,But the journey difficult, so much tired,The traveller walks with all might, at lastJourney becomes smooth, truth the key.


WHAT LIFE IS TO BE

Life to be pleasant and peaceful onlyWhen one adheres to the values ofLife, so much so he is in the pursuitOf accepting the truth in life, holdingTightly on the morals in life, to be mostObedient to God, to your conscience,Then only integrity in life achieved;You love yourself, you love others,Be faithful, truthful, simple and humble;Love nature, be positive and hopefulAlways, never be carried away by theSuffering, the despair; life then fruitful.


WHY CORONA?

The easy answer to deliverSo much it multiples in billionsTo replace what is lost foreverWhat the world lacking todayWhat is lost, comes differently,To maintain balance of power,To fill what is vacant in the world,Goodness lost is replaced by devil,A physical law is replenished andWhat is lost, regained in opposite,Goodness lost, you can’t get it back;Love lost, honesty lost, faith lost andPowerful corona replaces all the three.
