A Drifter

About the Book

A Poet’s journey ……… How can I decipher my journey, as a poet? When, poetry kept on floating in and out of my life at its sweet will. The poems & verses are an expression of my inner self, A personal universe of words……. Words, scribbled during odd minutes, hours, days……. Words, springing from feelings, images and situations that I confronted every day…………. Words, fluttering inside me and finding wings to land on one blank sheet of paper after another….. Words, companions of my cloistered persona, helping me to overcome periods of personal crisis….. I was a willing prisoner, who found freedom in words. The beauty of poetry, It can break your heart, It can also heal it And, I would have remained the solitary reader………. Till, I thought of sharing my world of words with public at large. They are accompanied by paintings and photographs that became an integral part of me in pursuit of personal happiness. Let these poems and verses find empathy from its readers .
