we live in times
that make it difficult
to differentiate reality from fiction

     not in the field of literature
     where borders always have been fluid

but in quotidian discourses
of politicians  television  internet
speakers present unproven attitudes
as if they were reality unquestionable

and they get huffy and evasive
if proof comes out that they are wrong
they claim that they have been misquoted
or at least misunderstood

and even if they do recant
this never hits the front page of the medium
but somewhere inside mixed with trivialities
few people check

so it seems to be up to every one of us
to use our brains and bother
whether the data we are being served
are edible or rotten

bccause these speakers
seem to have forgotten
what communication is about

we need to really understand each other

Scientifically,
The heart doesn't really feel anything,
It's only the mind capable of feeling and perceiving

Yet,
We feel the heart sinking,
The left part of the chest hurting
(although the heart is at the centre)

Probably,
It's the mind playing games,
What we think is what we feel.

~ S.G

Meaningless

A world to me

Contagious

To the world it can be

Spread

At your own risk

Happiness  or none

To the world as it believes

all poetry is personal
some more than others

to just spread out your private feelings
     in your verse
may not be everyone's delight

but if you choose words
so that the many find their voices
    in your own
you may be lucky
to achieve all poets' dreams

your personal voice
becomes the public
