13 Years, 620 Poems
30.06.2022
12 months seem to have gone by in a flash and here I am once again to celebrate a fresh milestone - 620 poems in 13 years.
Cuz Joao Marcedo you put me on the world map in 2015 and shored up my conviction in my mission and myself. Every milestone since I dedicate to you.
My survival as a poet with an audience would not have been possible without you, who visit my blog and your continued belief in me and my gift of verse.
A heartfelt Thank You! 🙏🏽 to each of you for your continued encouragement and moral support.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Conscience
Using my favourite form of poetry, Rhetorical Questions ... Here addressing Enablers.
In solidarity with every hurting person who has been at the receiving end of gaslighting by an Enabler.
May you be released from the grip of the Perpetrator and the attending Enabler! 🙏🏾

12 Years, 571 Poems
How swiftly another year has gone by!
I wrote my first poem on 01.07.2009, and as the sunsets on the 12th year, my anthology boasts of 571 poems.
You could say, it's been a fruitful 12 years.
To the One Whom I Hold In Awe, my humble gratitude 🙏🏾
To each and every one of you who have been kind towards my efforts, much love ❤️
To Tinta (K Jacinta Rao) & Reena Shukla, my patient sounding-boards, many virtual hugs 🤗

Projecting, Interpreting
You did not see me,
While
you were reading my words
You saw the
caricature,
That you
have built up of me
Cloaked in the
projections of your own mind-set.
Onto whatever I
said/wrote
You put
tone to my words
Nuanced
my phrases
Restructured
my punctuation
Assigned
intentions
..... According to your perceptions
In short, you
projected your interpretations onto my words
And so you
missed out,
On the
beauty of my mind
Its unique
approach to issues,
The careful and
precise usage
Of
language to communicate a thought.
... And
as a result, communication failed and we both lost.

This Whittled Bamboo Stalk
This Whittled Bamboo Stalk
On a different note ... To Love Eternal!
Though this poem focuses on the flute, it could be replaced by any other musical instrument. Music uplifts me and I thank all musicians for bringing the sweet tones of music to life.
