sarcasm, criticism concealed barbs psychopaths know the power of toxic expressions   victims flinch but cannot escape the impact, cannot wash away stains on their psyche   move out beyond circles of damage stay aware of unwanted marks   heal unfreckle before they become deep unerasable scars https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/29/quadrille-84/

Locus of control

-optimum defined by chemistry -hot or cold determined by physics -imbalanced behavior my biology reacts -actions analysed by psychology -stay calm and still spirituality   where does the locus of control lie?

Journeys

What is a journey without a destination? What is a journey without a planned destination?   a journey made of free will a journey imposed a journey for new beginnings a journey to the end…   Travel fascinates, unfailingly it is the purpose or lack of it which blows me to bits https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/23/poetics-movement/

We were on a zoology excursion to the Alibag beach. The wonders of nature that we had fished out … Continue reading Know the rules
