You don't write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say.
This was a song that once brought me angst /Today that has flipped to a positive headline / Better days are here to come / Better days are here // What changed was not the world around me, but me.More precisely – my state of mind. There are days when you pour your heart and […]
One of the many side effects of living away from “home”, of opening your world, or better yet your mind – it’s just not enough, nothing. Where do I belong? A question that haunts me in broad daylight, one I know is not unique to me, yet is my very own. You are not born […]

Such is the way of life of a wise person – retiring to their inner self, in their own company. I’ve started 2019 on a questioning note, which now that I think about it, makes total sense – it’s a natural response to observing. Not all that pleasant, not all I wanted. Yet good. And […]
There used to be a time, not so long ago, (well actually…pretty long ago), when I would write out my agony, the emotions that defined me. It was the inception of my relationship with poetry. Oh the sweet, sweet years of teenage, where every emotion that you feel is as high as heaven, as fiery as […]
There’s a lot going on / So much change all around / It makes me worry I’ll forget / The things that make life great / The things that made me me / All those cherished memories / So much in my head / A million new things every breath / Will all those old […]
Lately I’ve been on the move, doing things, going places, thinking thoughts, lately. Lately I’ve been thinking through, my life, my path, my people too, lately. Lately I’ve been digging deep, into my being, my heart, my soul, lately. Lately I’ve been asking questions, on who I am, what I want, why even, lately. Lately […]
A state of mind, a state of life, an obscure place, a clean slate – blank. Where words can be written, paint splashed, sketches drawn, creations created – blank. Re-written, erased, re-drawn, re-made, again and again and again – blank. A new idea, an old one revived, re-do, re-make, create, keep creating – blank. A […]
The line from a song / It was words all along / The messenger of my thoughts / It was words all along / All I wanted all this while / To get a moment on your mind / Now all these days have simply gone / And I’ve wondered all along / Did you ever […]
I see you turning all my corners / You are there, everywhere / In my eyes, in my sight / In my voice, in my music / In my words, and yours / In my head, in my breath / Always on my mind / I see me turning all your corners //
