Timeless Echoes Kindle Edition

by Balroop Singh (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 24 ratings
See all formats and editions
Certain desires and thoughts remain within our heart, we can’t express them, we wait for the right time, which never comes till they make inroads out of our most guarded fortresses to spill on to the pages of our choice. This collection is an echo of that love, which remained obscure, those yearnings that were suppressed, the regrets that we refuse to acknowledge. Many poems seem personal because they are written in first person but they have been inspired from the people around me – friends and acquaintances who shared their stories with me.

Some secrets have to remain buried because they are ours
We do share them but only with the stars
The tears that guarded them were as precious as flowers
Soothing like balm on festering scars.

While there are no boxes for grief and joy, some persons in our life are more closely associated with these emotions. Their separation shatters us, their memories echo, we grieve but life does not stagnate for anyone…it is more like a river that flows despite the boulders. When imagination and inspiration try to offer solace, poetry that you are about to read springs forth.

Review

Balroop's new book 'Timeless Echoes' is a steadfast repudiation of those ills that we painfully hide under the covers of our flesh to present the polished exterior as truth. This magnetic collection of poems highlights our precious human lives with all their varied emotions and imposing relations: the lives often blinded by the strictures of the self-made duplicity, an excessively common phenomenon. This book is a healer, promising to lay bare the ills of the soul as it soothes, cleanses, and nurtures; instilling in us a will to learn and live without fear, and a will to not hurt others. - Mahesh Nair.

From the Author

The moment you open this book, echoes of life would reverberate around you, reminding you of lost opportunities, repressed desires, cherished moments and hope that shimmers through clouds. Pick up this book if you appreciate positivity, if you aspire for resilience and fresh confidence to embrace life as it comes.

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

I literally purchased this book and finished it with the hour. I love to read poems that are short, sweet and simple. Poetry like this really feeds my soul. One of my favorites was echoes within - I knew she was talking about motherhood before I reached the last stanza. The poem resonated with me so well, because I feel all of those mixed emotions. Another I like was the letter - somehow, I feel like the letter was actually an obituary. Maybe it's because of the use of past-tense when talking about the receiver of the letter but either way, it made me feel a lot of sorrow. This was a great, quick read - which I love when it comes to any kind of books. I really don't like books that are unnecessarily long. Great job to the Author!

With titles such as Moments That Echo, Eternal Love, Love Life Your Own Way… and My Mother, your money would be safe if you bet that this book contains poetry to warm the cockles of your heart. The wordy stanzas are filled with descriptions that will supply your mind with beautiful visions, leaving a warm fuzzy feeling.

I feel I must say that I am not a poem aficionado, more of an I know what I like when I read it, person. Though there were lines that spoke to me in each poem, not many did so as a whole. I think it was that some lines seemed incongruous and just as I was grasping the meaning (or at least the meaning I derived) of the poem, I was thrown.

I have to admit, my poetry leanings tend towards more modern, hard-biting freeform poetry, but not so much that I couldn’t identify with some of Singh’s, my favourites being Yearnings and Eternal Love.

If you love poetry, this is a volume worth spending a pleasant day reading and ruminating over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep emotions uniquely revealed in Balroop's poetry

When Balroop Singh's latest poetry book, Timeless Echoes (2018), published, I planned to savor it slowly, bring it out for those moments when I needed a boost or a cheer up. That didn't happen. I ended up devouring it. I know from her blog that Balroop has incredible insights into the human condition. When she puts these in context with the flow and rhythm of poetry and the connotative depth only a poet can pack into a few words, this becomes a truly important book of poetry:

"It seemed so fascinating
To tread the unknown trail
How could I forget the elation?
The warm words of assurance!"

Balroop explains why she wrote this book in the preface:

Certain desires and thoughts remain within our heart, we can’t express them, we wait for the right time, which never comes till they make inroads out of our most guarded fortresses to spill on to the pages of our choice.
That goal inspires the soul of each poem, the individual beauty and poignancy revealing the true meaning only over time. This is not a book to be read quickly. Keep it on your digital reader so it’s easily available. Reread it when phrases and stanzas resonate in your memory or with some personal experience:

"You came like the sun piercing through me

Changing my contours,

Pushing me into the waters of time

I embraced your love

And plunged into timeless sea"

Balroop covers a multitude of emotions with honor, grace, and understanding, and in unique ways often unexperienced in modern poetry. This is a joy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep and meaningful freestyle poetry
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

I started reading this collection of poetry by Ms Singh without reading the blurb and I soon picked up the subtle undertones of wistfulness and almost melancholy that run through these poems, linking them all with this common theme. This did make sense to me as the book is called Timeless Echoes. After I had finished the book, I looked up the blurb and knew that the emotions I had sensed were indeed a vital part of the book as the poems are intended to reverberate with the reader in the manner of the echoes of past loves, yearnings and regrets.

This is not to say that the poems are sad or depressing as there are many delightfully uplifting ideas that support the fact that who we are is a factor of the events and circumstances of our lives. The echoes of past joys, pains, trails, failures and successes are woven through the fabric of our souls.

“The dew on my dreams is still fresh

Sunbeams add a sparkle” is one of these inspirational lines from a poem called Echoes Of Life.

Some of the poems dwell on a love lost in the past:

“I know I made a wrong choice

Intoxicated by the wine of youth” from Silent Echo are lines from such a poem.

The poem reflects on life’s fleetingness and impermanence:

“Echoing within her … nothing is permanent from Captive.

There are reminiscences of love lost or unworthy:

“Dark despotic attitude…

Arguments I could never win” from Sardonic Shadows

I enjoyed these deep and meaningful freestyle poems and recommend this book to lovers of poetry and life.

Even if you’re a fairy tale enthusiast like me, you still need to make a little time in your life for poetry. If you’re feeling like savoring some verses where every word is weighed, consider checking out Ms. Singh’s work.

This collection is sure to satisfy existing fans–like her previous work, these poems focus on relationships and growth, and the pain that comes with both. Joy is given its full measure as well–no need to fear that the outlook is bleak. The following is from my favorite poem, “I am with You!”

“In search of our own lustrous land

Far from those who create craters

Trust is our anchor.

You may call it escapism

But we fly for love, for peace

Away from this chaotic crease

Carrying the silent message of breeze

Embracing echoes within.”

***

Seriously, this piece could have been penned with fairytale-tellers in mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars echos of love, echos of longing, echos of hope
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2022

Having read several of Balroop Singh’s collections of poetry, I know to expect an emotional, empathic book.

Although this is not my favourite of her works, the broad depths of human emotion are expertly animated and enunciated through each poem and through the book as a whole. The theme of echos is clear, seaming in and out of the individual poems. There are poems of love, poems of longing, poems of healing and poems of hope. I can never fail to be moved by Balroop’s creativity and ability to capture so much with her words.

One line that particularly grabbed me was about hours crumbling to dust, I wish I could quote the exact line but I read this book on Kindle Unlimited (it’s free as part of your membership!) and I’m not technically minded enough to grab it. Luckily, this means you can discover and enjoy it for yourself.

Highly recommended, along with Balroop’s other poetry collections. Guaranteed to take your heart on a wonderful journey.

I absolutely love to disappear into a delectable poem and Balroop's book was a delightful treat. From light to dark, moody to loving---you can find quite the variety of emotions in Timeless Echoes. Although it's hard to pick just one, my favorite in the collection is "Did I Lie?"

"Did I say I forgave all?
Then why do memories gnaw
Digging deeper at the fissures

Did I say I remain calm?
Then what is this brewing inside
Bursting the seams of my heart?

Did I say I have moved on?
Then why are my feet firmly embedded
As if shackled by unknown forces

Did I say I chose to fly high?
Then why are my wings
Clipped by emotional shears..."

Balroop Singh is a talented author and poet, and if you crave an emotional fusion of words that linger long after your eyes have left the page, you'll want to get your copy of Timeless Echoes. I'll be revisiting this collection for years to come.
