Life Quotes

At a king whose reign does not deserve acclaim,
And rise to seize their crown.

A dead-end on the Holocaust,
Proving that even “evil” can serve the “good” end
Of those who prove to be its friend?

stabs us like adders

From the embrace
Of “eternal bliss”?

To the flesh
Even by the thinnest shred
Of their crumbling skin?

Such honeyed taste
To earthly life?

Ones, why, then, must we – mere mortals – avoid
Admitting grave’s victory over us and our beloved?

To paint things as they are,
To not misname a spade,
And not shout of gloom, and flare,
When there’s just a shade.

for what the heart percieves
the mind is unable to conceive.

Or in timid silence when he ought to speak.

If the hope of eternal bliss does not annul
The pain of bereavement, wherefore, then,
Does death not sting or is grave not victorious at all –
Over us: as yet the earthbound, mortal sons of men?

All husbands are alike, but they have different faces so you can tell them apart.
Get to know me, not just by words of others, try to be a companion or anyone, be somebody in my life, hope you won't regret. Make me laugh, too. That is a measure of one's character. My world is the same world we are all in.
I do consider my engaged poetry as a personal mission, a duty towards a society which evolves into a system of control of consciences: one even becomes a suspect for not thinking correctly !
