Words Fiesta! A compilation of my favourite poems on iLand. “Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air.  Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable.  Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.” - Carl Sandburg   To My LoveIf ...  more...

Don't turn love into relationship
Love comes like a strong breeze and carries away two lovers to unknown dimensions. Lovers go through an experience peak and then need to settle down. In the process, they start feeling bored, craving the same peak yet again and again. When they don"t reach it, they feel frustrated and fall into the ditch of misery.  Peaks in love are experienced wh...  more...
