Moments We Love Kindle Edition

Moments of fragrant love that stand frozen in time, of dreams that dare not unfold, of passion that fleets by, of erratic joy that we meet at the crossroads of life; butterflies of time that add color to our dark moments to scare the demons away – I have gathered all of them in this book. Some of them whisper softly to create a magical aura while spring of life sings with them, trying to wipe silent tears. Mother Nature steps in with all her grandeur to breath quiet messages of tranquility.

Each poem would soothe your emotions with élan and add a dash of color to your life. Life – that doesn’t halt for your sad moments; it just floats by. You just need to dive in to soak in myriads of moments to discover how they could ignite positive tones. All the poems in this collection are imaginary but inspired from people around me, some of whom chose to share their frustrations and tremors with me. My imaginative muse transformed them into poetry.

Memories and moments merge here
Today when I return to share
The glow of rainbows,
Embers of emotional entreaties
And smoldering debris.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Balroop Singh, an educator, a poet and an author always had a passion for writing. She would jot down her reflections on a piece of paper and forget about them till each drawer of her home started overflowing with poetic reminders, popping out at will! The world of her imagination has a queer connection with realism. She could envision the images of her own poetry while teaching the poems. Her dreams saw the light of the day when she published her first poetry book: ‘Sublime Shadows Of Life.’ She has always lived through her heart. She is a great nature lover; she loves to watch birds flying home. The sunsets allure her with their varied hues that they lend to the sky. She can spend endless hours listening to the rustling of leaves and the sound of waterfalls. She lives in California. You can visit her blog at http://balroop2013.wordpress.com

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book that covers love
    Reviewed in India on 26 May 2020
    Like the name suggests, ‘Moments we love,’ is a book that captures moments in life where the beautiful feeling of love exists. The book is divided into three sections – Moments of love, Moments of Harmony and Moments that make Life. Before each section is a beautiful personal quote – not more than three lines that sets the tone of the section. The poems follow the free-verse style and are not punctuated making the reading easy. There is a tenderness in each poem which reflects the poet’s nature. Even when she is angry about love being bitter, the feelings change but the tone is still gentle and sounds more like a learning. There is an absence of hatred but the presence of an inner strength. The cover of the book sets the tone of the book

    If love was a three-dimension object, the poet has covered every side, every angle and every surface – the feeling of first love, the yearning, the doubts that one has when one is in love, the rift (there is a poem by the same name), the memories are some of the themes under the first section – Moments we love.

    There is a equal mix of romanticism and rebelliousness in the poems. The poems are a light read and can be read by non-poets as well.

    'Moments We Love' by Balroop Singh is contemplative & full of hidden desires & emotions. I loved the poems about love, especially about a person's first love that really stirred my soul. This book consists of a wonderful set of love poems & other poems relating to different emotions & situations that we as human beings come across in our lives. These emotions & situations can be good or bad, we just have to look at it in a detached manner to move on with our lives. This book can be a great gift to a lover of romantic poetry. Balroop Singh manages to enthrall the reader with her collection of poems which are indeed fascinating. Some of my favorite poems in this collection were mostly the 'love poems' & they were: 'First Love', 'Love Yearnings', 'Memories & Moments', 'Soaking Wet', 'Drifting Apart', 'Thaw', 'Conniver', 'Who Are You', 'Memories' & 'Summer Love'. These were really my favorites & they really touched my core. If you have ever loved someone truly then this is a lovely collection of poems for you to buy & cherish. I hope to read more poetry collections by Balroop Singh in the near future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle transaction - what you bring to the moment will matter...
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 March 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The late comedian, Richard Jeni, had a routine called ‘Love Songs.’ It chronicled how love songs on the radio were designed to specifically drive those who were not in relationships to the brink of suicide (the irony of Jeni’s death in 2007 by a self-inflicted gunshot wound is apparent).

    You might wonder how that relates to Balroop Singh’s collection of poems, ‘Moments We Love.’ The author, in her preface, states that she looks for the reader to drink deeply of the emotions colored here. Yet poetry is transactional – not only what the poet brings in shaping these words, but what the reader brings with them when they open the book and read what is there.

    The book is divided into three sections – Moments of Love, Moments of Harmony, and Moments that make Life. The poet’s style is free verse, stanzas of anywhere from three to five lines, more evocative of feeling than rhythm. Depending on your take in poetry, you might or might not prefer the style. But in every poem, Singh seeks to touch the reader gently, like a soft rain or a gentle breeze, not pushing the point as much as inviting the reader in to consider the moment.

    One jarring piece in the front of the collection is titled “The Editor’s Review.” I’m not accustomed to a book including a review of itself, especially one so positive, in its text. If this were labeled as a foreword, and the editor wrote it as her observations, it might be more appropriate. Then again, that may be a stylistic preference on my part.

    One other structural note on the ebook - it would have been more convenient as an owner if the individual poems, as well as the sections, were linked to an active table of contents. That way, I could refer back to a poem that I felt a specific connection to without having to flip through page after page to reach it. Again, this is a stylistic choice on my part.

    I would be curious if this book works the way Richard Bach suggests in his novel ‘Illusions.’ His characters presented the theory that certain books worked like that – you concentrate on the question or feeling that you are struggling with, then opened the book randomly, and the message on the page would relate in some way to your query. My gut feeling is this collection would lend itself nicely to that premise.

    I’m not a connoisseur of poetry, preferring the occasional e.e. cummings or Robert Frost. But I could see adding Singh’s work to my permanent collection quite easily. Nicely done.

    One for the home library!

    Balroop Singh's latest book of poetry, Moments We Love, is absolutely wonderful. Her best book to date, I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of poems. Balroop has her own unique style of writing and yet, each poem was very different from the one before, providing a lovely variety of emotion. As the title claims, it is about love but it is not simply about romantic love. Some of her poems are open to interpretation but many are definitively about nature, for example. Ms. Singh also shows an unexpected dark side to her poetry, surprising the reader in a challenging way.

    I will return to this collection for comfort and for contemplation of the moments I love.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Passionate Poetry
    Reviewed in the United States on 6 July 2021

    These poems explore various kinds of love, from familial to romantic, from the heights of joy to the depths of pain. The author has much fun with language and the occasional rhyme. Her metaphors often focus on feelings, such as "...you flow into streams / Of desire, whetted by torrent / Of yearning of ages?" It does get deeply passionate at times. The poem Eternal Love starts out: "Like soft flowers under our feet / Like lovely drops of first rain / Like moonlight soothing our eyes / Love tiptoes into our life..." But overall, there are many lines to which I could relate: "people / Who never look back / Once their purpose / Of using and abusing is done." My favorite is the poem, "My Mother," with its lines: "Who could use any curse word / To keep you on the right track." It's the least abstract poem, and the most down-to-earth, which is probably why I prefer it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Collection Of Well-written Poems
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2021

    Moments Of Love is a wonderful collection of well-written poems. My favourites were Isolated Child, I Feel Most Like Me, Fortitude and My Mother. My Mother was touching and reminded me of my own mother who never says " I Love You but depth of her love is immeasurably ". With varying types of poems and a range of literary devices used, this is a collection that can be savoured slowly and re-read again and again, whenever the mood strikes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Poems about meaningful moments in our lives
    Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2019

    Moments we love is a delightful book filled with poems about all the the moments in our lives that make us the people we are and give our lives meaning. Often these moments are lovely ones, memorable due to this happiness, but others are darker, and are those moments that shape our characters and test our strength and endurance.

    This book is divided into three sections as follows:

    Moments of Love which features poems that mark the passage of love from youthful, young love to more mature love, memories of love, forbidden love and even the demise of love.

    These two short extracts illustrate the fascinating range of the poet’s expression:

    From First Love

    “Like a blooming bud

    First love beams bright

    Brings distinct delight

    Lights up our life”

    From Rift

    “We just counted our flaws

    And laughed together

    When did it become a fissure?

    Wide enough to devour us!”

    Moments of harmony features poems that describe marvelous, harmonious and sometimes riveting and momentous moments in the poet’s life. Here are two more contrasting concepts from this section:

    From Redwoods

    “Here I stand merging in the trees

    Awed by their grandeur

    Dazzled by their magnificence

    Startled by the decay

    New shoots sprouting from

    Dead trees, testifying their latent power.”

    From Now I understand you!

    “Not that I detested your game

    Of turning tables on me

    Changing at will, ticking away

    Robbing me of my dreams

    Stealing my momentous moments

    Impelling me to follow your schemes”

    Moments that make life is the final section of this book and features beautiful poems about moments of decision and purpose in the poet’s life. There are some amazingly descriptive poems including Isolated Child, New Beginnings and My Mother, which I particularly enjoyed.
