Though written earlier, he could not pursue and follow it then <br />As for being a boy of eighteen to take up commerce, <br />The kernel of Chariot of Dreams was sown earlier <br />And he wrote it then, <br />But could not publish it for so long. <br /> <br />Again, when dusting the racks and shelves, <br />He found the manuscript <br />And he went through it, <br />The work written during his youth <br />And he accepted and acknowledged the matter finally. <br /> <br />Chariot of Dreams, published in 2002, from Bangalore <br />Is a poem of an epical format, <br />I mean a longer poem, <br />With a prologue and an epilogue, <br />Gliding along dreams and ideas. <br /> <br />Prologue, The Path of Dreams, The Depth of Dreams, <br />The Cycle of Dreams, Dreams, The Search, <br />The Journey of Life, Time and Space, The Colour of Dreams, <br />The Chariot Design, The Chariot Moves, The Glory of Dreams, <br />Safe Dreams, The Final Destination, Epilogue, the parts of the poem. <br /> <br />Written under the spate of inspiration, a girl’s influence, <br />Taking to the example of Shelley, Wordsworth, Burns, Keats and Tagore, <br />Just like Joyce’s quest after beauty in Araby short story, sketch, <br />The chariot came on, took him up, <br />Strode along with divine glimpses. <br /> <br />It is a poem of thought, thinking, image and idea, <br />A poem of dreams, <br />The chariot of dreams, <br />Coming and taking to <br />And the poet driving along dreamily. <br /> <br />The flights of poesy, the dreams of allegory, <br />Image and reflection, <br />Youthful verve and vigour, <br />The wisps and whiffs of romanticism <br />As the dreams of love taking over his mindscape.<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chariot-of-dreams-by-dwarakanath-h-kabadi/
