Not a fan of Rushdie. Not really. His books are a bit too surreal and phantasmic. Haroun and the sea of stories was ok, but Stanic verses was disturbing. Count sleep for days.

I dont like him either! I studied haroun as a part of my critical appreciation of literature paper! It was so comical and i love the references he made to kashmir and urdu!

Haven't read satanic verses and dont plan to!

Take a bow !

My writing skills are no where near yours but will post something later on.

Denial

----------

May darkness engulf me

May there be no light

The only peace that I get

Is when no one sees my plight

I can let myself cry

I can let myself be

The masks can come off

I can be the real me

I dare not think

That she will be here

I dare not think

That she will be near

I dare not think

That for me she will care

I dare not think

This life we will share

For when I am shattered

What use is hope ?

I am doing losing

To this monster called love

May the door stay closed

May it always be night

May the darkness engulf me

May there never be light.

A Light

sharp, that blinds

in a fantasy

of a surreal kind

Images of you and me

entwined in bitter grief

Grief,

profound and still,

loud, a sonorous chime -

asks me with a voice so shrill,

My soul for less than a dime.

I lay my head down, I hear night creep

And with my grief I quietly sleep.

Slumber,

in the deep black of the night,

Brings fantasies

of a mesmeric kind

Under the sun,

you and I

Welcome light

by and by.
