Welcome to my blog

My interest in writing, especially poetry came to be when I was in my senior year in secondary school, when I was introduced to the world of prose and poetry of famous figures in literature. With the likes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Cristina Georgina Rosetti, Edgar Allan Poe, to name a few. Their poetry influenced me and inspired me to follow their themes and moods. As I go through my writing and develop my skill, I want to share my poetry to the rest of the people who will get to be interested on my poems, I just wish that somehow in my own little way I have contributed even just a stray of inspiration to those who are like me, wanted to be a part of poetry world. So I want to welcome every one of you, whether you're a visitor by accident or by design; and for acquiantances, this is the other side of me; here's hoping that you'll be able to get a glimpse of me through the pages of my poetry as you read between the lines...

Curtain Call

Dreams of yesterday
Travelled down the edge of time
Tinkering the bells
Playing music for the ears
Beholds a promise of fame.

Lullaby is sung
By a weary little monk
Telling a story
Of a maiden in glory
Blinded by admiration.

Silently it came
A glory with bitter end
Fame turned into shame
Remorse with all due intent
Relieves it's guilty conscience.

Poem's brief history:
Written on July 10, 2010 at 12:30 am, eastern time, in Sharja, UAE. Got inspired by the documentary of two foreign actors rise to fame and shamed by downfall.
