Poetry

A mouthful of words…

Is it cathartic to bare your soul?

Is there an up-tick from sharing the whole?

When demons are gathered does it help to slay?

Or are angels and demons best kept away?

 

I struggle for answers and find there are none.

I look at the questions and there is just one.

Does word-play heal and replenish my mind?

Is this a tangle it pays to unwind?

 

I shrink back from people, in silence withdraw;

I call it a strength what is deemed as a flaw.

I know as I buckle, it’s too much to bear-

but public is laughter, and lonely the tear.

About hbhatnagar

I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then. I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile! A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit). I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog. I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly. I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.
