you never miss it na, a sound in your poem. Beautiful work of art, this poem is. A see saw between seeing and not seeing; aware and alert;despair and hope;light and dark. And you know what, you talk about the dark but show the light.

i loved the way how you say it. at one point of time, i used to be in and out of hospital pretty frequently and for long periods and that too in some faraway town from home. But i was so young and naive then. Its only in retrospect that i can think how it was but still i dont dwell.
Thank you for this poem. Please be there, Allen and keep writing such beautiful poems.

First things first-Your poems are my references about books to read.
What do i say when i barely get your poems but i try reading and re reading them. I guess thats what you also like- someone to really take time out to read these and then understand these. I really appreciate the beauty that lies in here and the standards you hold from yourself and your readers. Or may be it just is like this.

Beautiful, Lynn. I am so glad i took out time to read and re-read your poem- not just a poem but layers and layers of unpeeling of persona and getting to essence and still not hold it but just kind of get a glance of it. Beautiful...so beautiful.

Oh! its okay. love is also steadfast when it is shown as it is. Its called true love but i call it bare love.
love, smoking, breathing go so well together, indeed. This image has been inviting me for a few days but i needed to take time out to read your poem. Its a beautiful one.
