THE TRUTH AND TRUTH ALONE
   I don’t know if I could ever get the truth    Of what lies beyond the inevitable falsification and the fiction    If I could ever dig into the depths and know the lie    If I could ever …..    I would sacrifice all coxcomb, all glitter and glamour of my life    I would only kneel down in all humbleness with clasped hands and a pure heart    To f... more...

THE DESERTED HOME
  Like a pencil of rays filtering out through the wedge on the closed doorway   And sufficing it all to light away the prevailing dark   The fathomless dark within the deserted home   Where time appears as a statichor    No one, not a soul lingers in this home       All is silence, no cries, no laughter , no groans    The silence in itself deafenin... more...

THE LOVE
"The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real," . So, if you focus on the name, then you are likely to lose the actual substance and essence of it.Basically “LOVE” is a unique feeling that can’t be defined if we really live it. On the contrary it can be defined with all its technicalities for all other pur...  more...
