A incredible art from Robert Frost



A Question






A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.

Robert Frost

Four lines that evoke vivid images of suffering that in turn display the inevitable struggle of every long life. Beautifully said.

in my bedroom

Someone once asked me this question. I told him in my bedroom you would find my lesbian friend bobly and sometimes her fiancee babni and a gay boy who happens to have the same adress as I have. But he was not satisfied. He wanted to know what things I had in my room. So, I had to write it down for him cuz I think it would have been too much to ask of his little head to remember.

Let's start with the table...No, I am not describing the table. It deserves a story for itself and a much better introduction than this.

Well, there are things under the table, in the drawers. Besides, the large table is not the only place we keep our things. When I wrote this post, I did go on to complete the list. So, if you really want to know what 'things' you may find in my room you can either mail me or leave a comment here also mentioning the type of file you are comfortable with.
