Neither won.
Yet, I lost.

Have you lost
your craving?

Me. I crave
my  losses.

Mind. Peace.
Matter. You.

It's great to read your words again.  This was thought provoking...
I really liked your word play in these two lines:
  "Have you lost
   your craving?

   Me. I crave
   my  losses"

Sudhir, my friend
I adore your new voice.
It reminds me of the great beat poets.

Sometimes they are a loss for a reason..

I did enjoy your words and thoughts.
