I'm full of half-written poems hidden inside me which tremble at the sight of day; but they cast soft glows inside me when he warms me up and the glitter from my eyes trickles deep within me and stays there for days adding words to staggered verses I write for him, staying incomplete and inert and still refusing...

How?
Then Pecola asked a question that had never entered my mind. "How do you do that? I mean, how do you get somebody to love you?" But Frieda was asleep. And I didn't know. - The Bluest Eye; Toni Morrison
And then, there was Literature
The office library has been extended, and brand new books have been placed upon bookshelves. What pulled me inside the library was a view of the lined up stack of the P. G. Wodehouse Omnibus. The communication about the extension had come across, somehow, my laziness kept me from visiting the place. There are books... Continue Reading →
Because I Love You
What is it about Shakespeare and his plays that we haven't forgotten them? Here's a question that has been asked so many times without being answered.

A Love Affair
First of all, apologies that this post comes so late in the day. It's as overdue as overdue can be and as important as important can be. Getting straight to it. This is the story of a love affair.

Infusion of romance and a dreamy kiss; A dash of pressed flowers and embraces' heady mix. A pinch of assault she added, and gave it a little stir; Then waited for the broth to boil, and wiped away a tear. 2 cupfuls of angry letters and a ruby red stone; She added to the cauldron...
