a few more marks left on the world a few more lessons learnt a few more breaths spent I cannot assess the exact impact -parameters being frequently redefined another year another cake another birthday I celebrate life…. https://amanpan.com/2019/06/17/brewnspew-cafe-june-17-2019-%f0%9f%a5%82happy-birthday-to-me%f0%9f%8e%82/
Re-directed
Why should I fret over a life that did not happen, lost battles, well-meaning initiatives not supported by amoral power?

I will change course and find peace In solitude -Redirected https://dversepoets.com/2019/06/17/quadrille-82-fretboard-of-poetry/
A place of doubt
I left for eternity, that night leaving fragile bonds behind severing ties with all my might heavy eyelids, thirsty soul in search of the meaning of life I left for eternity, that night unfamiliar is the new terrain powered by freedom, I sway ahead leaving fragile bonds behind I look for welcome … Continue reading A place of doubt

disappointment in my mother’s eyes often made me wonder if I’m an anomaly or anachronism Years later I’m forced to think - was I just ahead of my times or a misunderstood aphorism?

Un-existing
