My Thoughts! — Are you perfect and normal without any instability in life? If you or any of us think we are normal and don’t have any such issues, it is only an assumption. At some point in our lives, we would have gone through some form of minor mental illness. There must…

Desires and Disappointments

Prose Poem — Amid all the chaos and all the silence, in some faraway woodland, stands a lonely wick, its fragile form fittingly constricted by a much more fragile slick, waiting to melt. The slick waiting to melt and the wick waiting to be lighted — as one form, but very much forlorn…subtle…
