kath_reads 's review for:
Your Soul is a River
by Nikita Gill
My Actual Rating : 3.5 out of 5
My very first read this year. I enjoyed this poetry collection. I thought the astronomical theme was brilliant. My only problem was some words and messages were used repetitively and it loses the poem's meaning. Overall, Nikita Gill's writing is beautiful and her poems are heartfelt and inspiring. Here are some of my favorites:
YOUR HEART AND SKIN
Your heart is not a hotel
with rooms to rent out
whenever you find yourself
alone.
Turn your alone
imto a place of comfort.
Your skin should be
a place that you can call home.
A FINAL LESSON FROM THE OCEAN
The ocean holds magic
for those who seek it
but she only bestows
her best magic
on those
who deserve it.
There is a lesson
int hat for you.
give your best
to those who deserve it,
not to everyone
who seeks it.
THE SOUND OF HEARTBREAK
It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound when a heart breaks. Car accidents end with a bang, falling ends with a thud, even writing makes the scratching sound of pencil against paper. But the sound of a heart breaking is completely silent. Almost as though no one, not even the universe itself could create a sound for such devastation. Almost as though silence is the only way the universe could pay its respect to the sound of a heart falling apart.
