Once Again Love: Reconnecting with the Heart
by Sarita Mathur
As with all poetry books, I took my time reading it as to not rush it and to absorb the meanings behind each piece.
Loved the titles of all the poems. I also liked that it wasn't all about love, but more about rediscovering forgotten or underestimated lessons of life.
I liked everything about this book. It was very tender yet blunt, and describes a sort of sadness I feel anyone could relate to, as well as incredibly touching inspiration. The author, Sarita Mathur, is so creative, and places a large emphasis on creativity, which is refreshing to see. It definitely makes the reader think. There is just something so very human about this book.
When I chose to read this book Once Again Love, I had no idea what I was going in for. This was the debut book for the author Sarita Mathur and I cannot help but say that I was fascinated. But that aside, this was a book filled with hauntingly beautiful poems. By no right can anyone say a negative word about the book. The ideas were spectacular. It was amazing reading the book.
The book is basically divided into 22 chapters. Each chapter is filled with a variety of verses and lines. Some of them were so pretty that they gave me goose bumps! I also liked how author attached her experiences in lines with each poem, gives me a very special feel. I also liked the way the poet connected with me, thanks to the poems. It's a rarity these days and I am all but happy for it.
One of my favourite poem was from Chapter 8: I Want to Be Strong Like the Sun
I Am Strong Like the Sun

One of my favourite poem was from Chapter 8: I Want to Be Strong Like the Sun
I Am Strong Like the Sun
I am strong like the sun
And always happy
When the day is done.
For I have always stood for what is right,
Even when the future was not bright,
And it would be easy to give up and say
Hey, I do not have to have my way.
Let us keep the status quo -
Peace, no need to ask for more.
Yet I am strong like the sun;
It is what I wanted to become -
Tall and straightforward as can be,
Kindness and compassion radiate from me,
Knowing right from wrong,
Yes, I am strong
And can make decisions
And be
Just and fair to everybody,
Including myself.
I never forget me.
For
I am also a part of everybody:
The Universal Soul,
Happy to be good to everybody.
I can no longer a victim be,
For I am ready to take responsibility.
