MY POETRY
==========
Having started off over a decade ago as a hobby, my poetry has evolved in the way Robert Frost describes it... 'begins in delight and end in wisdom'. Over the years, my style has grown with me... from childlike innocence, to teenage anguish, from early adulthood self discovery to more mature thoughts and a deeper understanding of the workings of the world.
MY STYLE OF WRITING
===================
I prefer rhyme and meter to be an inherent part of poetry and generally write with a solid rhyme scheme and a decent meter (harder to follow) . However, I do believe that all a good poem needs is good context, subtext and flow. Non-rhyming poetry too can be excellent and I say that from not just reading a lot of contemporary poetry but also having written some, despite my discomfort with the style.
When times are bad and you have no friends
When the hopes of life lead to dead ends
When all your surroundings have nothing to give
And you can’t imagine life the way you live
...
When at the end of the day
As the light seems to fade
When eternity meets eternity
As the endless earth meets the endless sky
...
I never let out what my heart had to say,
But the moment of truth is here,
And it’s gonna stay, so today,
I’m gonna show what it feels like,
...
My untamed heart so easily builds,
Dreams of an unbound love,
And even though it breaks each time,
I just can’t get enough.
...
From underneath the frozen smile,
My heart melts to silently cry.
The burning emotions from the days
When these embers were all ablaze,
...
