    About this ebook

    Born on one of the archipelagic islands in one of the best countries in the world and parent to two beautiful children who are my gifts. Writing short pieces is more than just a form of expression but has been part of my sheer survival. The ability to articulate on paper what largely could not be shared then with another human being is therapeutic for in doing so it created hope, put things into perspective and even helped to prophesy things which were to come to pass in the author's life.

    The writings encapsulate the vulnerability, frustrations, anger, irregularities and resulting pain and hope of the author's emotions while still concealing, even from the author, intricate details of each situation that gave birth to each writing.

    The investment in publishing is an investment in pain with the hope that someone somewhere would be able to decode the writing and translate it into the same hope the author has found. Being such a private individual, it has taken considerable deliberation to release writings from my soul and Robert Frost says "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader." Need I say more than this?

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      review.

      Loving You

      I dreamt of you.

      Yes, dreamt you into being.

      You tugged each tender heart string,

      And I grew larger and larger.

      Day after day I waited with bated breath,

      Waiting on your arrival was splendid.

      Then the day, oh my God, the day,

      I thought heaven came to me,

      When it was your face to mine,

      At last, in front of mine I could see.

      Till then, I never knew a love could be so ever fully known!

      And so beautiful, immeasurably beautiful,

      The most beautiful persons I have ever experienced.

      Just to know that some things so beautiful could come from me,

      The days I have had before you,

      Could not ever compare to the love in its fullness created by your first breaths.

      Loving you is so natural, like breathing.

      My love never reaches the limit,

      Like space it is limitless and unsearchable.

      A love that I cannot experience more than twice in my life is who you are.

      Pains

      I often wonder when, why and how?

      When can I see you again?

      Why can't I see you?

      How it seems like everyone and everything conspires,

      Conspires to deprive me of my heart's desires.

      But the pains, the pains drive me to yearn even more.

      Even though it looks impossible right now,

      I must believe that a better day is coming.

      Part of my pain is wondering,

      Wondering if you feel the same or am I a distant memory?

      Far and away from your new world,

      Far removed or banished from your memories.

      Tell me it isn't so,

      Tell me you remember still.

      Cause the pains want to stop me.

      Every day the empty feeling reminds me of what I long for.

      I put a smile on for the world,

      I dress like I care,

      Yet inside I bleed out all my love.

      Yes, I say, yes I am fine,

      But I would be gone, if not for the divine.

      Time, they say, heals all,

      But why do I want to say that I still feel,

      As if it was day one.

      One day at a time I heard,

      Well one
