Yours by Kakshma Gupta


About the book


This book is a tangible form of abstract and intangible human emotions woven into the threads of 13 poems. They are versatile in form but intend to convey the power of the brain, miseries of the heart, the acts of God, the lessons hard, the cry of hope and the visionary differences portrayed through personification and metaphors. Poetry is the most powerful tool to express feelings and emotions including those beyond ecstasy, avalanches of pain and social agendas that need consideration. This book is very close to my heart as it contains some of my writings from almost a decade ago. The title YOURS depicts the journey from you to yours and back forth. A lifetime is divided into being ‘yours’ (towards family, lover, kin, organisation, society etc) and at the same time to being ‘YOU’ yourself which is a unique creation of the Almighty sent for an even unique purpose. During this journey, we come across a plethora of sentiments as we walk, we grow, we learn, we win, we lose, get loved and betrayed. I look forward to my readers relating to one poem or the other and enjoy the journey ahead.


About the author


 Kakshma is a banker by profession but has a writer’s heart. She’s been brought up in the City

Beautiful Chandigarh’. Her love for writing is as old as her childhood. Lessons taught by life and hardships faced, made the pen her best friend. She writes using engaging metaphors, paints human emotions with personifications and talks about some social issues that need attention. What have inspired her greatly, are the beautiful poems by Percy Bysshe Shelley and William Wordsworth and her love in her real life.
Most admired by her are the lines ‘If winter comes, can spring be far behind’ from ‘Ode to the West Wind’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley as she considers these words to be no less than a life coach.
