POEMT: Seeds



Desire is the seed of Misery,
Consumption, that of Poverty.

I regard this couplet as my life's work. The first line is dedicated to the mature reader, the second, to the maturing one.

Love your blog Owais. I am a closetted. Hoping one day to find true love. Though I am now beyond marriageble age (35). I am somewhat free to find a part of my like. God bless you - there seems to be a deep gnash hurting inside your heart. I pray you heal and become better. God bless.

BTW I was always attracted to you - though we never formally met. Maybe someday when you return to the industry. You are being missed. Come bacl

Hi Yoko...

Thanks for the comment... I do not know if you will ever visit this same page and see my response, but I do not know how else to respond to your comment, and honour your expression...

I wish you all the best in finding love... I am myself a bit wary of that expectation... Love, I think, is just a mirage... just a rainbow... I have myself "taken it apart, analysed it, and reassembled it... though I still choose to live on it"

Well... as for returning to the Industry... I have no clue if and when I will do that... at this time, I am busy fulfilling my care-giving responsibilities to my mother... and hoping to use the rest of my time in fulfilling my other responsibilities... like that of doing justice to my own writing...

..but I sure hope that someday I will get to 'formally meet' you... and wish you luck in person... :-) ...take care and all the best. owais.
