A thousand verses under the sun

A thousand odd pieces of my heart

Poured on paper, each poem a part

Of my soul, my being, my existence

A reflection of my life’s experience

Emotions from a snapshot in time preserved

My poems have over the years served

To memorialize my thoughts most ardent

To be a medium through which I comment

On happenings in the world, large and small

Burning issues that have moved me are all

Reflected in my poems, when I re-read

Each poem, I go into an introspective mode indeed

I rediscover and relive the experiences of my past

Through my poems, I hope my fervor to write lasts

Until I do, I hope there always would be

A way for me to express myself poetically..
