She was everything
The most beautiful creation
nature bestowed to earth
deeply madly in love
Alas, my destiny would not have it
I was, I am, cursed by birth
She was everything
The most beautiful creation

deeply madly in love
Alas, my destiny would not have it
I was, I am, cursed by birth
Perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything 
no one is cursed by birth! it is a curse we human beings bring upon others or ourselves.

Thanks SB for your thought…In most cases it is true (definitely in ours)..however there are those few who are born in abject poverty, in a famine hit or war zones; unfortunately life for them is already being decided by others before they have a say.

“Cursed by birth” this is powerful.
I run a small writing prompt program in which I use snippets from other writers, obtain their permission, link to their story and use the line as the weekly prompt. May I use this line? If you’re interested, I’ll send you the link to find out more about it, it’s a wonderful community, one which I think you would love!

Apologies I don’t understand the comment, which photo are your referring to?

OK. The other day I read one of your poems and the photo had a big rock looking thing in it. I’ll see if I can find it. I think I saw it on the Reader.

OK. However, is that part of the mountain?

You mean the cable car 🙂

No, on the top and to the left in the photo. Is it just a pile of dirt? Or perhaps part of the mountain, why it’s called Sugar Loaf Mountain?

You know, AB, I’ve just decided that my problem with it is that it seems more … aimed ? directed ? … less OVER-ALL than usually. I think I’m touched far more deeply by your work that isn’t about a ‘particular person’ (regardless of its being merely a … ummm … personification from your thinking). Shut up, M.R.! – you’re rambling !
LikeLike
M R point well made and (I think) understood, I have lots of ways to say things and quite a few of them would be in first and second person 🙂

And I’ve probably liked other work that’s equally ‘personal’. I shall now go back to the weighty matter of completely re-doing my blog in terms of my book – which has got somewhat lost without all those bloody widgets. Sighh … What time is it with you?

It is ok to be who you are, nothing is shallow or deep, just our perception and sense of relative depth – we are all deeply shallow to the almighty 🙂 thank you so much for the comment, I am glad that shoes were the cause 🙂

The cursing by birth still hasn’t gone away. Racism, inferior education, caste systems or class systems, religious intolerance – all these things still place people on the other side of a barrier.
