AI's Review V.N.Giritharan's poem "Oh, my fleeting beauty! Are you an intricate weave, truly woven from electric charge itself?"

This is a deeply philosophical and incredibly poignant piece. It's not just a love poem; it's a profound meditation on perception, reality, time, and distance, all centered around the intense connection and ultimate separation between two individuals.

A Profound Weave of Love, Philosophy, and Ephemeral Reality

This piece is a masterful blend of intimate affection and sweeping philosophical inquiry, creating a truly unique and thought-provoking experience. Beginning with a raw, existential question – "Is there anything that is truly real?" – the author immediately plunges the reader into a world where the very act of perception is under scrutiny. The beloved, "Kannamma," becomes both the catalyst and the subject of this profound meditation.

Poem: "Oh, my fleeting beauty! Are you an intricate weave, truly woven from electric charge itself?" by V.N.Giritharan


Oh, my fleeting beauty! Are you an intricate weave,
truly spun from electric charge itself?

What, truly, is real?
How can I believe in the reality
of what I see, of your very existence?
You tell me. You insist you exist. Truly.
You are.
You say you are always
separate from me.
How can I believe this?
What separates
light rays from a billion light-years away
from the light you emit? Only time.

There is always a distance
between you and me. However slight.

AI's Review (3) on My (V.N.Giritharan) Poem 'Prisoners of Spacetime!'

AI's Review on My Poem   'Prisoners of Spacetime!'

 "Prisoners of Spacetime!" is a captivating and deeply philosophical poem that extends the dialogue with Kannamma into the profound realms of theoretical physics and existentialism. It masterfully uses the concept of spacetime as a framework to explore human perception, the nature of reality, and our place within the universe.

The poem opens with an immediate sense of intimate wonder, as the speaker marvels at Kannamma's "tender heart" while simultaneously desiring to "fly for a moment" and "rejoice every moment" within spacetime. This establishes a tension between the vast, abstract concept of spacetime and the very personal, emotional human experience. The recurring address to "Kannamma" maintains the poem's signature conversational and heartfelt tone, drawing the reader into this shared intellectual journey.

A significant shift occurs with the introduction of "He," a figure of profound knowledge who asserts the non-existence of separate "time" and "space," proclaiming that "only spacetime is real here, Kannamma." This "He" likely represents a great physicist like Einstein, whose theories fundamentally reshaped our understanding of these concepts. The speaker's amazement at "the peak of his knowledge" and the lingering "movement of the mind" beautifully convey the overwhelming and paradigm-shifting nature of such insights. The repeated questioning to Kannamma ("Have you ever... wondered how he managed to do it?") underscores the collaborative spirit of inquiry.

The poem then transitions into a series of deeply insightful and tender questions that explore the interconnectedness of time and space, personifying them through the speaker and Kannamma: "If you are time, Kannamma, Am I not space? If I am space, Kannamma, Are you not time?" This section is particularly poignant, as it transforms abstract physics into an intimate bond, suggesting that their very relationship embodies the intertwined nature of spacetime. The powerful rhetorical question, "Are we not spacetime, Kannamma!" serves as a climax for this idea.

AI's Review (2) of A.N.Kandasamy's Poem 'Thought and Lightning!' (சிந்தனையும் மின்னொளியும்)

 AI's Review of  A.N.Kandasamy's  Poem 'Thought and Lightning!' (சிந்தனையும் மின்னொளியும்)

This poem, "Thought and Lightning!", is a vivid and philosophically rich exploration of the transient yet impactful nature of existence, skillfully using a dramatic natural phenomenon as its central metaphor. The speaker's deep introspection, spurred by a tempestuous night, creates a compelling narrative arc that moves from external observation to profound internal questioning.

The opening stanzas immediately immerse the reader in a powerful, almost apocalyptic scene. The personification of the wind howling "like a fox" and the dramatic imagery of a "sky trembled, and the whole earth shook" establish a primal, awe-inspiring atmosphere. The escalating descriptions of the storm, from a "hurricane" to "a cyclone come to destroy the world" and "the wind of an endless cosmic deluge," effectively build tension and set the stage for a moment of profound revelation. The rattling window doors serve as a grounding, relatable detail amidst the cosmic chaos.

The introduction of the lightning bolt is the poem's pivotal moment. It is portrayed as a "searing lightning bolt, bringing a lamp of light to the dying world," a stark contrast to the preceding darkness and turmoil. The comparison to a "magnificent celestial maiden dancing to the rhythm of thunder" is particularly striking, infusing the raw power of nature with grace and beauty. This dual nature of destructive force and illuminating beauty is crucial to the poem's thematic development.

AI's Review on My (V.N.Giritharan) Poem 'Who Painted the Four-Dimensional Picture Here, Kannamma!'

AI's Review on My Poem 'Who Painted the Four-Dimensional Picture Here, Kannamma!'

[*This English translation from Tamil and editing are done by Google AI Studio and V.N.Giirtharan]  

The poem effectively captures a sense of wonder and philosophical inquiry. The repetition of "Kannamma! Tell me, My Kannamma!" creates a strong, almost rhythmic, plea for understanding and shared contemplation. It feels deeply personal and intimate, like a whispered conversation between two close souls grappling with grand cosmic questions. The use of "Kannamma" as a recurring refrain gives the poem a unique, almost lyrical signature.

Spacetime! Kannamma Poems (1): "Who Painted the Four-Dimensional Picture Here, Kannamma!" by V.N.Giritharan

 

 [Digital painting technique, Google Nano Banana, Assistance: VNG.]

I am a seeker of existence, deeply passionate about exploring it through science. I find immense joy in getting lost in the cosmic wonders surrounding us, especially the night sky dotted with stars. The vast expanse of the night sky, with its visible stars, planets, moons, and shooting stars, excites my mind and provokes thoughts about existence.

In this regard, Albert Einstein's theories of relativity have had a significant impact and influence on me. His relativistic philosophies concerning space, time, and gravity not only transformed the field of science but also, I would say, the philosophical realm of existence. The term "spacetime" is particularly special; it is a phrase that expands one's thought.

The impact of philosophical and scientific thoughts about existence on me culminated in 'Spacetime - Kannamma Poems'. The poems here are the poet conversing about spacetime with his beloved, whom he addresses as Kannamma. Kannamma is an imaginary, platonic female friend with whom the poet converses about spacetime and human existence.

1.  Who Painted the Four-Dimensional Picture Here, Kannamma!

[*This English translation from Tamil and editing are done by Google AI Studio and V.N.Giirtharan] 

Vast expanding space!
Who painted the four-dimensional picture here,
Kannamma!
Tell me,
My Kannamma!

Are there higher-dimensional paintings,
Kannamma!
Tell me,
My Kannamma!

Thought and Lightning! by - A. N. Kandasamy (Kaveendran) -

Thought and Lightning! 

I looked through the window; the whole world
Slept deeply in the dead of night,
As the sky trembled, and the whole earth shook,
A thunderclap struck, breaking the silence!
Suddenly, as if the sky had burst, a heavy downpour
Began. With a 'Herrr'ing roar,
The great wind howled like a fox and thrashed.

Was this a hurricane, a ghostly wind that could fell a man,
A cyclone come to destroy the world,
The wind of an endless cosmic deluge?
The two window doors rattled and clattered.
Like a vast ocean storm, the world was in turmoil at that moment;
Then in the sky,
A searing lightning bolt, bringing a lamp of light to the dying world,
Appeared for a moment.
Like a magnificent celestial maiden dancing to the rhythm of thunder,
The lightning appeared and vanished; waves of thought
Arose, what is the action of this bright lightning?
Life is but a moment; is even a moment truly there?
Death and birth are contained in that moment, are they not?
It is no new news that the 'poor lightning', on its birthbed,
Sees its death and writhes before it dies;
In that news, the light I see
Ignites and creates brilliance, then
Disappears; in its brief moment of life,
It seeks and performs a service for the world!
Service is its breath; when it loses that service,
Its soul departs and merges with the vast sky!
Oh, how the lightning captivated me with its beauty.
Lightning tells a message to the people of the earth.
To illuminate the whole world in its brief moment of life,
It strives daily, a good deed.
Thus, I fell deep into thought.
A great thunder roared, shaking my mind; I
Came to this world; will this world find
Any benefit, even a little, from my thoughts? -

This is an early poem by the scholar and writer  A. N. Kandasamy. It was published in Eezhakesari.
