Have you ever felt that life is unfair?
if so
you may be entitled to compensation.
Experience is the scar we carry as a prize for battling life.

My Dear Poet
The Big Bear and Little Mouse were what you call  ‘Best of Friends’.
When Little Mouse would trip, Big Bear would giggle, pick him up and gently place him back on track.

When Little Mouse would fall, Big Bear would laugh, carefully lift him up, dust him off, and patiently put him back on the path.

One day, Little Mouse got stuck trying to get some cheese. Big Bear, thought it was hilarious. He pulled him out. Licked his sore. Gave him a pat and set him down to eat.

Big Bear and Little Mouse were the best of friends. Till one day, Little Mouse was sick and tired of Big Bear always laughing at him.

And left.

Le Grand Bleu


The Mediterranean is a volcanic

crater filled with with a liquid

which would never make one

feel blue even when bathing.


    Some say it is an inkwell

  surrounded by a parchment

with a margin called a beach

where people wear foolscap.

.                  Self, Poet, Trait.


  On an extremely wet day in Mallow,

County Cork, Ireland, when the eaves

  were dropping, a conversation was

     overheard between a paranoid

       schizophrenic to his altered

            ego in a cracked mirror.

                          <>

  " [I] can’t live with myself because

  [YOU] gave me a split personality.


              Now, I don’t know if

          I am a [HE], [SHE], or [IT].


So, while [WE] are pluralised by [YOU],

    [THEY] are all talking about us “.
You are blessed from birth.
If you can regularly find a free space in a busy parking lot.
A young sun is rising over the sky.
A blank mind seeking solace.
Sat under a tree to calm my mind.
A cool breeze is flowing around a field of lush grass.
Bird songs could be faintly heard.
It had the impression of being a peaceful place.
The mind turned into a mirror of the nature.
