you ask me to describe
in words, myself.
but i lie
between them-
words that are often
replaced by the others.
Comatose i lie
between those words
when you say the one
and mean another.
i am
beyond what you see.
-lets not push ourselves into boundaries-
and become words
that sound the same
yet spell another.
i am
a blank
in-between a scribbled page
left for the perfect word
that writes itself.

Archana Sahani: Hi Tina, I enjoyed reading your interpretation of my poem "He loved a poet" on your blog. Am pleased to learn that its one of your favourite poems. Greetings from Toronto. Take care.
Rivenrod: You arrange words sharply, elegantly. I enjoy how they swell to the end like puffs of rice in water. I am often frustrated by poetry and poets. Not you!

Roscoe: I came across your page on hub. that poem in your "about me" section. I was....cant really explain how I felt as I read it, I really enjoyed it. just felt necessary to let you know. Thanks, Roscoe
Benny Faye Douglas: You’re very talented with your words, I enjoyed your poem and story "Let me grow in your Background, Mother" , but it hurt deep within my heart and made it scream. Continue your writing journey as you may, never let anyone hamper you on your way. Godspeed and much love.

Will Ferrel: At first, I was astonished by the articulation of human behavior and emotions by you in your poetic expressions (such as used in "drenched", "A Bottle of Ink", Wandering About,"Will You Sing it to Me?", "Comforters"). I am quite moved by the striking use of metaphor. I also admire the way you draw a sketch by the sheer usage of words, making it lot more interesting to read. Thanks for being so ‘candid’ in whatever you write . . . . I really appreciate some of the articles (What makes a good reader, B'day Diaries) and Book Reviews (Veronica Decides to Die, The Bluest Eye) written by you in graceful style with meticulous care to ensure correctness of facts and explanations.
People have become insensitive towards life. However, when few souls like you come up with their own creative work, then it does bring certain amount of sensitivity among all. So keep up the good work and wish you good luck for that!

Actually I got the crux of your poetic talent in your biography only! Great! nice to read your poems.

Ok, off topic kind of. Regarding Navigation. The poems open all in a different page. Maybe you can get a sidebar with the archives, and all the poems on the main page of the poems link.
The link that takes to hubpages, is technically taking the reader away from your blog. From there a reader can click on to more links and not come back here. Now you won’t want that do you? 🙂
Lil things, but they matter. Hit me up on twitter, @fubar69 we’ll discuss it all 🙂 c
Cheers!

Reply: hello N..thanks for the advice. i didn’t really think much on that…right, li’le things…but they matter. well, don’t think can do much about the hubpages bit…since it asks for original content, i can’t really post one article at two places. also, i want to link my hubpages reviews to the blog…can’t think of a better idea.
thanks for the twitter link…will follow you.
beautiful.. !!
I loved it!
wow…beautifully expressed
Are you trying to present a contrast here?
ya, a contrast 🙂
I will keep reading your poems from time to time. Very enlightening.
Thanks,Ranjit. I would love to have your feedback.
