Love's Lonely Impulses

I know I haven't been blogging as frequently as I should.
My apologies to all, who have been checking put my blog constantly.

What have I been busy with, you may wonder.
Well I'm not about to cook up any excuses.
But I've been reading up on everything I can lay my hands on.
Poems, novels, psychology and starting soon on philosophy.

My favourite one is " Love's Lonely Impulses" by Catherine Lim, one of the most reknowned writer locally.

This book is a collection of poems on her deep and raw insights of the society.

It is a must-read, and a must-have.

The following is one of my favourite poems from the book.

Short, simple, yet impactful.

---To A Young Woman Who Has Had An Abortion By Catherine Lim

It could have been so simple.
I had a bad tooth
I had it pulled out.
I had a stone, size of a pea,
I had it taken out.
But this was different?
I had it washed out clean anyway.
But clean is not
What I feel.
