When words are a second sight then blindness can rob me of nothing.
I have written in darkness as if I have written in light.

…and if I could not read or write I would be crippled
the soul of words…
if this sight could not recognize the little shapes I saw before me…
if this heart could not feel their essence as I felt the world around me…
if this mind could not understand their meaning, grasp it’s power…
if this hand trembled at [...]

Sometimes I write down passages from the books I read for the sheer beauty in which the words are written. Sometimes they are a mere three words and sometimes whole pages.
Sometimes it is the simplicity of the words that carry the complexity of a lifetime. And sometimes it is the complexity of [...]

I’ve been tagged by my good friend, Baekho to write a six-word memoir. This concept apparently came about due to Hemingway who summarized his own life in the following six words:
For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn.
Personally, I’m not all too familiar with Hemingway and was at first confounded by his choice of words. Actually, [...]

There are scenes, images, tales that play themselves out in my mind. Unrelenting, heedless, sweeping in their pursuit to flow from the confines of the imagination to the scribbling stroke of the pen, to be laid out and manifested in words adding yet another element of life to its cycle.

You may try
And
You may test my words
You may gather the rivers
And
You may gather the oceans
You may disperse them upon the greatest of fires
Yet
The heart’s desires are not extinguished
Every other light may burn out
Though
Every other candle may burn out
The heart’s desires are not extinguished

The words were human enough but the emotions and mannerism was primitive. The aim for all was the same - to survive and come out the victor. And to do so it seemed anything was said and everything promised.
How many lives will be compromised for the victory, how many banners waved - how [...]

"O wave! Plunge headlong into the dark seas,
And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
- Allama Muhammad Iqbal
