Soul on Knees
I wrote Soul on Knees in 1982, when I was 13 years old. It captures the nature of despair, when all seems hopeless and one is lost in darkness. Compare this poem to Contemplation (1984), with its similar theme of
An Invitation
I wrote this poem in 1985, 17 years old. This was a very spiritual phase in my life; I was inspired by the Christian and Hindu faiths on death and resurrection. Compare this poem to The Saviour (1983), offering redemption.
