The Poet Ingridient....


Be it in any language, the magic of words has always been of greater impact on many kind of relationships. Being passionate about love songs and writing a bit by myself, i always thought about the origination of such words that has such a strength to express the feelings.

What is the magic ingridient behind the songs written years back that even in this era, they become popular? If you listen to songs like "When you tell me that you love me", "The way you look Tonight", "You raise me up" and so on sung by Westlife, have you ever realised that those were the songs written when people like me didnt existed? There is something in the words that have always kept me thinking.
The common understanding of an image of a poet is a "Loony" character, who lives in his own imaginary world. Even in my days of amateur poetry, i was looked down upon by people as having "world of my own". This resulted into me thinking about the actual personality of a poet, a songwriter or a lyricist. Is it always true that the imagination of an individual takes the form of words? People have different opinions about this, so i leave this to the readers to decide upon that.
Putting it this way, it is always true that something written on love has imagination as a major ingridient. But the core of such writings is always a character, a real individual. Illustrating this fact are innumerable songs written by thousands of writers, pick any one you like.
The major point i want to emphasize is one thing, a reason. Nobody writes without a reason, be it for a person whom he or she loves, be it for one's country or be it for fulfilling one's desire in one way or the other. I would say that these things add beauty to our life, even though it seems to be imaginary.
