Some readers felt that specifically the poem 'Stardust Soul' was a little difficult to understand because of the use of an extensive vocabulary, sesquipedalian words and archaic diction.
I beg thy pardon f 'r mine language if 't be true thee bethink I speaketh gobbledygook but I admire Shakespeare a lot. 😂
So I've simplified things for my hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic friends by providing a stanza wise interpretation of the whole poem as I see it.
However, I don't want to damage the beauty of other poems by revealing the meanings and leave its understanding to your own sense of imagination.
Every poem can have multiple interpretations and it depends solely on the reader how they see it. This chapter is an attempt to show my perspective on this poem.
Hope this helps understanding the true emotions and depth of the poem. 😉

Nevertheless, remiss of fate
And albeit the nous disdains,
But the heart again betrayed
Cognisant of erstwhile stains.
This stanza talks of a lover who's fond of someone. And even though the lover's heart was aware of the damage and pain it bore earlier but it still fell for him/her again, betraying the intellectual mind and fate that were constantly denying to trust that person. But the heart didn't listen to them, making the previous mistake of loving again.
___________________________
And for such Benevolence,
Execration was thy guerdon,
Which left me amidst shrewd.
Absquatulated I in silence,
As the latent Melancholy brewed.
The lover further says that for such kindness of trusting you again, I was rewarded with nothing but hate and anger which left me cold and depressed. So he/she quietly left without uttering a word as this hidden sadness took over him/her.
___________________________
The very aura exudes,
Seemingly sinful brutes
And,
Thy heart's a ferocious monster,
Thus ribs are bars.
But,
You lost the moon,
While counting the stars.
Now, the lover feels that his/her aura displays a sinful and insensitive person who brings unpleasantness. The heart is being compared to a ferocious monster which is supposed to remain captured in a cage for eternity as it has destroyed many worlds(lives) and ribs are those bars that keep it captivated. At last the lover says that you lost someone(me) who was close and loving like moon while dreaming for far off things like stars that are somewhat unachievable.
