Poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal “Nishank' are the innate passionate ramifications and poetical mystification to the readers, which might include hymns singing and religious instructions, but what cannot be missed is the sentimental piety of the poems that he offers in this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys the possibilities, compares them to the actualities, facts, theories, the alternatives and the ideal, and weighs them together. Hence, they are both insightful and foresighted to make a sense of worth of life. Amazing is the fact, that these poems are not complex but simple and pliable and the doctrines and practices endorsed in them are not something new and recent but in tandem with the established norms.
The poems in The Darkness is Vanishing stir the spirit or make our hearts dance and come over us like a mystical suppleness in a mood that is enchanting enough to pacify the distressed feelings refreshingly and absorb within a sense of truth, clarity and refinement.
Nishank conjures the image of common place, every day and affable life of socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall but rise, shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are popularly and peculiarly contemplative.
Hidden behind his voice
Is every man,
Let the doors of the heart open
If you want to understand
His character
Let them speak something.
***
The ardour for the humankind
may pulsate
In every throb of my heart
Let there be a beautiful person
within me.
Only desire to fulfill in this life
To die for the country
And my life Be the emblem for humanity.
***
Like wheezing wheat
Like worms clothing
Similarly jealousy man
Termites the termite
Similarly jealousy
Makes hollow the preposterous.
***
To erase the darkness
Who themselves
Burn like torches
Even in the adverse torrents
They never douse.
***
Happiness
Is always in the present
Not in the future,
It is present
In some depths of the mind.
