The poems are vigorous in its tone and these express the poet's attitude towards life, love, death, society, culture, tradition and humanity at large. In the words of Arnold, who says in one of his popular essays "The Function of Criticism at the Present Time "that poetry itself is ‘Criticism of Life'. If poetry is criticism of life then I think definitely achieved excellence by being objective in his poetry and has tried to be impersonal as T.S.Eliot stresses impersonality has to be achieved by the poet in his poetry to make it more expressive, critical, symbolic and of course highly creative in its act of composition. The theme of love with a young poet play's its rhythms and the poet is helpless rather to express them and find a way, but love has its way in and struggles very hard finding no way out. When the cyclic turn gets over, you are left with something to say. A broken heart has much to say. It has experienced so much so that a normal heart can never reach out. It has enjoyed all love, bliss and then love leading into pain. The painful moments passes through grief and sorrow, the dejected moods, despondency and finally it gets healed. The journey is towards only two words of love ‘End, Love'. It ‘Returns to Love' in a very different way as emotions turned into letters and words of love. It takes the form of love put forth in the form of Letters. Never a poet, but by chance, becomes a poet. A Poet who speaks with masses and uphold their living spirits. Pablo Neruda, the great Spanish Latin American Poet, a Nobel Laureate was a great ‘Romantic Poet', an adventures Lover, who is said to have written around 600 love poems. Every piece of love poem can be considered as a classic. I believe the poet - Abhimanyu Kumar has written in the same veins, which has made his blood as ink and has expressed his heart's Labyrinth, the Labyrinth of heartache, the cry and sorrow, the joy and blithe expresses different colors of love. It is colorful as well as becomes colorless where all colors get faded. The only colors are permanent and evident in life is white and black with strong scars and feelings which is very much experienced in his poems. As Robert Frost says " Good poems begins with pleasure and ends with wisdom" is a true sign of great poetry. We can see this becoming factual and quite natural in the poetry of Prof. Abhimanyu Kumar, who in his every poem reaches out to that naturalness, spontaneity in thought and expression. The poet also brings out the paradox of language in poems like ‘ Language of love', ‘A Lonely heart', ' Invisible Lover' and several other poems, which expresses the dual nature of love and the two fold experiences of love tries to find a way in the form of these poetic expression. The paradox of love and paradox of life on one hand constitutes the ‘real' and struggling experience of the poet and on the other hand expressing the experience of love in the form of letters have been made indispensible for readers of poetry to cherish the act of poetic creation, which is created in the true spirit of love lived and life experienced as a whole. To conclude, the poet is highly experimental and critical in his vision. We can see this right from the beginning, from the very prologue itself which is not penned in prose but which is poetic and rhythmic in its tone and largely impactive in its effort. In this sense the poet also comes very close to the great poet critic like T.S.Eliot in making strong representations of the time. The poet is contemporary who is modernist as well as post modernist in catching sight of new themes and modes of experiments with lucidity and great beauty, which in Mathew Arnold words ‘ Poetry is the finer spirit of the breath'.
