The Inheritance of Sorrow

"Poetic craft is a carcass, a sham. If poetry

doesn’t come as naturally as leaves to a tree, then it better not come at all."

—John Keats

"For the suffering may cease to exist, and existence may cease its suffering but wisdom shall linger on.

Knowledge shall triumph."

—ven

A good book is the precious lifeblood

of a master spirit.

—John Milton

POETRY

To,

The Mirror that looks upon me so

graciously. And my family who bless me with

their spirit.

Heads N Tails(2013)

If ever it was about me,

It was about you too.

Like a coin is one

But the sides are two.

It’s not to make you blush,

Neither an exaggeration of

What’ true.

For this my life is

But all for you.

They salute my valour,

And praise my conquest.
