Molten Eternities

By Sanam

Molten Eternities is a collection of short poems that etch out the dogmas of this universe and attempt to have a look on the other side. The poems poke the vast eeriness of the cosmos, and how it is an eternity and a brief moment, all at once. Caught up in this paradox of ‘time’ are all of us - molten fragments of an eternity, and shackled down by years, and lifetimes. Lifetimes that thrive on promises and vows. Each one of us yearning for a love that is flawless and yet, evades us. The poems reflect the turmoil that each one of us faces as we grapple with emotions that race through our veins. Short and crisp, these short poems paint a lush landscape of thoughts in a handful of words. They try and ponder what we all seek in our lifetimes, and what awaits us at the end of it all, when, we pass on into the stagnant Universe.
Only to become an eternity, once again..

Sanam

Born and brought up in Amritsar (India), Sanam migrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1999. It is this dichotomy of being a migrant, where the writer emerges in Sanam, as he grapples with a sense of his identity across two cultures. Growing up, writing and poetry, started as a fanciful hobby for Sanam. He would often sneak into his dad’s library and stealthily feast on the works of many famous poets and writers. Tamed Words is Sanam’s first book where he takes the leap from being a writer who kept losing poetry written on stray pieces of paper, to a published poet. Sanam spends his days working in a successful Corporate career, while, the nights are often spent being a writer. Sanam lives in Melbourne with his wife (and his biggest supporter) Jasdeep, and their 7 year old son, Arjun. Sanam invites feedback about his writings and is contactable on [e-mail] or on twitter @thesmalltownboy
