Quote Left In the darkest corner of your mind, a door creaks open. It's the key to another dimension-A dimension of shadow, a dimension of fear.

Quote Left Poetry has no "Candle' light kept under bushels." We share our deepest, whether aware or not. Quote Right
Quote Left Without love, and its many mysterious interpretations, there is no poetry. Love is poetry's core element. And a poet is addicted to love: may it be people love, love of nature, science, etc.. Passion, equals Poet. To Definitively define love is folly, for there are libraries full of such feeble attempts -- Why I write more about poetry's driving forces, refraining from any precise clinical referendums. Quote Right
Quote Left Oh, if only to reach and touch, so easily, where eyes and hearts can deeply travel in a dreamy instant. Quote Right

So bright was that moment, that on physical planes all else seemed dark by comparison. "It was finished, it was finished; the Divinization of man, and Glorification of God in His Creation (Hanna Jacob Doumette)". Not to be saddened...but rejoice with Christ! Quote Right
Quote Left "I love when the wind goes through windchimes and they sing like a choir." Quote Right
Quote Left ""MERA KARMA MY DHARMA FIRST THEN MY IDENTITY '" OM Jagdish bajantri (mhabharamnad) Quote Right
Quote Left Is poetry just a waste of time, a collection of words put together in rhyme. Quote Right
Quote Left If you know me, you know I slept better in those desks, than I did my own bed Quote Right
Quote Left Once you are grounded in love, all other girls are mere fleeting specks of dust. Because you desire or longed them no more but just wipe it off like a dust at shoe. Quote Right
