On May 7, 2010, I had had met with a life-threatening road accident that put me in a 23-day comatose state and a minimally conscious vegetative state for 3 months thereafter. A former friend led me to this beautiful platform created by our Eliot York, the computer engineer from England. I had written a grand poem about how I felt about the ethos and pathos of romance in my spiritual account. Born as an only child to my parents in our nuclear family, I developed high affinity towards any kind of love, affection and attention sent my way. Consequently, I tried to collate with an ideal lover, but she was always an illusion.
Unfortunately over the years, I kept breaking up with consecutive girlfriends due to miscellaneous reasons. But having written the poem that I call ‘Angel?’ has helped me receive such admiration for it such that I have realized that the love I seek outside has actually been always housed in my heart.
In the accident, I lost all my friends as all of them moved on. I can't blame them. Everyone has an own life to live. And why would anybody wait for a man who is academically and physically challenged?
Although now I'm a successful professional in the public sector and I'll soon transit to government sector.
I feel grateful to everyone here who I have read or who has expressed liking for my poetry.
Thank you everyone for teaching me one thing or the other.
