porcelain is our life and yet we keep applying pressure taking its preciousness to the very limit as if testing its strength in some futile search of character until it finally crashes on our own faces breaking into pieces those pieces that we struggle later to put together often taking pains to make them stick together once again but the smiles on the faces of our life is deformed, distorted forever like fractured truth manufactured from an original painting of lies (maybe?) ---------------------------------------------------- am in a bit of introspective mood these days... sometimes weird... sometimes harsh... sometimes true... sometimes not so... Thank you for coming by and many regards... "I was born intelligent - education ruined me" |

A very deep examination penned Sudhir, I love it! distorted forever like fractured truth manufactured from an original painting of lies (maybe?) especially loved the above lines. Maree  |

You made me think of the beautiful porcelain masks that one sees in New Orleans all of the time, and which made a "debut" of sorts back in the 80's as room decorations... but then, of course, as always, your words touched a deeper thread... well done, Sudhir... |

I sit here with my tube of super glue and hundreds of mis-matched pieces, not knowing where to begin or even if I should. *S* But I do know I like this very much. *S* |

Sudhir~ My friend ... I just loved the delicacy of this piece~ As a collector of tiny Porcelain pieces, I recognized the fragile analogy ... very fitting~ *Big Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Sudsy....geeze, it's been a while since I called you that. I really like this one...liked it so much I had to read it aloud, then had to read it aloud to a friend of mine. I like the flow, the fractured lines, the intentional pauses, the structure, the form which meanders but tries to adhere, much like the porcelain pieces inexpertly glued back in place. Well written indeed. Alicat Pax Poeticus “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most |

 (big hugggssssss) Wonderful and interesting wisdom fills your words, dearest Sudhir! (sigh) Our lives are all but porcelain, and they can shatter indeed and distort our ways of feeling, but as long as we all love each other and believe in our loving hearts, our porcelain hearts will be sheer and shiny always! (sigh) BRAVO!!! I love your words!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

You have painted an exquisite portrait, the fragility of our porcelain human existence on this all-too-fragile planet. Thank you, Sudhir. |

Very well written Sudhir. I have only seen a couple of your poems, but I admire your style and imagery in those that I have read. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
