Genuine poetry happens as an event to be truthful, clear, courageous, and honest to oneself; to be open about things one often tries to conceal. I also view it poetry as the expression of cosmic, organic, erotic life, creating its own forms, expressing itself and, in being expressed, finds its voice.
My experience convinces me that we are not limited by what we are, but we are limited by what we are not. Poetry becomes a means to overcome this limitation, and thus, allows us not only to ourselves but also to expand on what we are. This means we should remain open to healthy revisions that we can make to our way of thinking, and incorporate new perspectives into our outlook. In other words, we should not let our rigidity destroy our potential, but rather we should evince forward-looking, tolerant, and open mindset if we wish to create future.

The very brevity of the poems is their strong point making us think, think and think again.
The divine is coiled — a beautiful trope - for the coiled serpent is torpid. Brevity is the soul of the poems. Many words convey less, the fewer the better would be an inspiration to fathom the deep. He lives between cold walls, candles put out, with no roof on the head. The more one thinks, the more one is perturbed, fuddled and dumbfounded.
The land is trivialized. There is breathlessness at midnight. This is the state of the present.
You can almost imagine this story must be based on true events; a real-life occurrence that has taken on folktale-like proportions over the years, regurgitated by his father at regular intervals in front of relatives who have heard the tale one too many times after their brother and uncle had one too many beers.

The tumbling mountain opens the wound. Man can only be the silent stranger with no hope, no succour and no light even at the end of the tunnel.
Restlessness and negative vibrations make man look at the east only to protect his body, withstand the yelling jackals outside and read philosophy. Body is precious as our culture told us aeons ago.
