Welcome to a chaotic 2026!

So a new year has arrived. And it is 2026. I have a vague feeling about this year, and that a feeling that I need to take a day a time. Not thinking too much in terms of long term other than my poem writing. I have that feeling and I don't know why. Unlike last year that I have a feeling of planning, this year I decided to float everything, let everything loose and unplanned and chaotic and accept the chaos and surprise at every single moment. The money people has an article talking about the same thing: "How to prepare for economic surprises this year". And I can't think of anything more apt than this. At least I have finished the revenue fund for this year in the first two weeks of January. Not much, but enough to live decently and coffee and dine out once in a while. And I stick with the writing work, even though my works have not yet been sold well. But it is my main strength and passion, so I keep adhering to it.I coined the poem collection "Warped" a few weeks ago. And I am now one fifth of the process. I sent you guys three poems here. Do read and let me know what you think. I love to receive your feedback emails. ConversationsThoughts, brought into the brainMain meanings pinned into the frame Of settings, of contextsWe sit, thus, speakCigarettes litWords and letters splitInto this and thatAll the while the dogs barkAnd here and there our mind sparksMarked into God’s quarks.-------The face of fearThe night, it sinks my mind into a hot flowOf anxiety, of worry, and sometimes of gloryIts stillness, is like a sharkWaiting silently under the deep waterWith teeth, ready to devourMy poor heart---------LifeStories, told again and againLife, lived again and againFirst excited, later tiredWe get old, lines molded, and foldedInto memoriesField of lilies, scented and gentleReminding us adulthood, moody and every one has lived there at least onceGlances, here and thereLovely or resentfulAll get marks in the MoonAka our minds, most of the time blindStill trying to climb, into another high.P.S: Send me to my yahoo address: [email protected]
