Lost and found ... by VJ Knutson
Lose myself, did I? ….. at kittysverses
My first days in this enigmatic world, here,
Wholly dependant I was, ever endear,
Slowly, the firsts of teething, talking, walking,
Experiencing the firsts of independence, never balking*,
The place where I was at first, helpless,
Is where I found strength in hopefulness,
My first days in an ocean of knowledge, school,
Unknown, I was of any rule,
Slowly, the firsts of social skills, life skills, academics, sports,

Whatever I feared all my life as painful, is not so. The transition is smooth, and I find myself in a place that looks like an empty waiting room. I choose the first chair on the left, for getting a good view of new entrants. I hear a scream before I can sit. This is … Continue reading Waiting Room
Lost and found …. by Michael
The default position within the family was set on naive. The boy through no fault of his own inherited it.
Blithely he experienced what he leant from the newspaper and the radio news.
His mum shared the romantic stories of her cheap novels, love was something earned, and if you were lucky, it worked out ok.
For twenty years he lived that way, then he met a girl and thought he was in love.
Marriage came, and with it, the expectation of a life shared, of acceptance, of mutual love and care.
Within a week, he was confronted by the stark reality that marriage was not as he imagined. Living with another person had its pitfalls, and he was not prepared; his romantic notion of love and marriage was very soon shattered.
There upon he entered a world of pain, misery and torture, not what he thought he was signing…
