Anilbaran | My Beloved | A Critical Analysis
‘My Beloved’ by Anilbaran is a romantic-love poem. In this piece of poetry, he has glorified the beauty of his beloved. The love expressed here is first amorous and then spiritual. It is written in free verse. The language of the poem is simple.
The poet says that his beloved is very beautiful. Her face is as beautiful as the glowing sunrays at dawn (early morning). Her face is like a moment’s glow of heavenly light. Then, the poet praises her voice and says that her voice is like the cadence of a heavenly flute and while the poet hears the voice of his beloved then his attention goes to his beloved and thus he becomes mad of her love. Her breath is as sweet as the breeze in May. She is a source and dream of immortal joy. While she touches the poet, then his body fills up with rapture (excessive joy) from head to feet. When the poet senses enjoy her beauty and body practically then the poet becomes intoxicated and falls asleep at her feet. Her contact with the poet gives the poet so much joy that it is beyond his dream. While the poet and his beloved twine together then the poet feels heavenly joy. The poet says:
”And when my senses drinking deep
They honied beauty face asleep
Intoxicated at thy feet.
………………………
Spirit with spirit twined, and in
Our union earth and heaven meet.”
This later part of the poem is sensual (amorous), but it is concluded in spiritual union through a bodily touch.
The poem ‘My Beloved’ bears some fine similes as:Â
(i)Thy face is like a sacred down.
(ii)Sweetness as of a breeze in May.
This piece of poetry, as a love poem, is an enjoyable one. The imageries of body, voice and beauty of the poet’s beloved are quite sensitive and enchanting.
The poem reminds us of Robert Burns’s lyric ‘My Love is Like a Red Red Rose’ in which, like this present poem, the poet glorifies his beloved’s beauty, and that allures the poet to fall in love with her. 0 0 0
