New Frontiers

Dedicated to My Children

When time comes
To shed the colours
The uniform
And the cap.

When time comes
To lay aside all
The prejudice, bias
Hate and enmity

When time comes
To say sorry
For the wrongs done
And shake hands

When time comes
To shun the mortal coil
To en-shroud it
in the coffin.

The only companion
To sing songs to memory
To say adieu,
Will only be love and only love.

Preface (excerpt)

Here, I am presenting my seventh collection of poems “New Frontiers”. My poetry as described by many of the reviewers has assumed different dimensions. I am grateful to Dr. M. Fakhruddin, Editor, Poets International, Bangalore, for penning a profound Foreword to my humble seventh collection.

Foreword to New Frontiers by Dr. M. Fakhruddin [excerpt]

A poet evolves his own mode of expression through words. Words play an important role in writing poetry in the language of poets like paint and brush for a painter, the voice for a singer, the body movement and facial expression for a dancer.

Mr. Peeran’s poetry in this particular volume covers a very wide range of subjects portraying not only life’s vicissitudes, persons of myriad colours, master and servant relationship, dawn of enlightenment, ego to zero, but also love and unspoken words.

He is a keen observer, and analysis the spoken words whenever he meets men who matters:

No, he isn't a crazy man or ill mind
He is too conscious and perfectly sane
He is on a high intellectual plane
With a broad prophetic vision

Life is learning and knowledge is power. The poet reveals how to discover new vistas:

To discover new vistas of knowledge, 
To work and tread on fresh paths,
To lay in calmness, when storm blows
And for patience and virtues to overwhelm you.

Spring time is playtime
Fragrance emitting in air
To cheer frozen hearts.
Roses, roses everywhere 
Delight the hearts of lovers.
