Often, the softened tones remain in anonymity
Waking up resembles a hasty ritual to confront life
Slumbering soul cannot fathom the hastening tales
Anecdotes scamper through chronicles of existence
Leaving a haphazard trail of jumbled feelings
Unwelcome errands push the heart to yield
An unwritten contract drives fate through tunnels
Minds are coerced by nestled misconceptions
Fallacious assumptions and hegemonic beliefs
Smother softened tones even before realisation
Indifference with the Self cast aspersions
Profound nature of life evaporates unceremoniously©

I loved this. I struggle with ‘being known’ I would rather be anonymous but anonymous doesn’t sell books – if I had a ‘choice’ though I would be anonymous, heck I’d wear a mask every day.

Thank you so much.
I can completely understand that dilemma. The luxury of anonymity for a writer and also essentially being known to the world because of the work. Writer’s world it is. 🙂

Exactly. You are so right. You are one of the few WP writers who is consistently superb in your writing and understanding of humanity and life. I don’t know how you do it, but I admire you very much for that skill. It is more than a skill it is an understanding of the world at large and an ability to convey it so beautifully in poetry. You are a true poet.

You are very kind my friend. I guess writing just happens as mind contemplates with various sentiments that are usually overlooked.
Appreciation coming from a published poet is really inspiring for me.
Likewise, I feel you have a unique and keen eye for detail which presents itself through rich imagery in your poetry. My best wishes for you.
