Your latest poems are showing a fine individualistic power. The French writer Malherbe said: I write for myself alone. Your song is yours and being selfish about that is very much OK. We, your friends, shall admire you at your chosen distance.

This is beautiful poetry. Spilling emotion in a very positive way. Loved it.
In the desert of my confusion. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Your words have plucked a cord on my heart's strings... and I hear the sound of my own lament... I say, Yes! It's okay to be selfish...
