An uncut stone;
eyes evaluate depths
and cuts,
some to reflect
others to refract.
Finished sparkler
is not an exercise
in perfection
but perception.
Reduced from infinitesimal
to ceremonial
countable angles.

This was the easiest way for me to publish what I have written over the years, since I run my business server here (www.janasi.ca) this was a simple addition.
Much of what you read here was written in my twenties but bits are added here and there. I live in Victoria, BC and grew up in India. The writing is locale independent, not out of design but simply because that is how it came out.
The titles are just words that got added as they were being put a web page, they may have had nothing to do with the thought and intent when the poem was written.
Literature that influenced me early (in my teens) and indelibly was by Joseph Conrad (Lord Jim & Heart of Darkness), George Orwell (1984), Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Brothers Kormozov), Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) among others but more notably.
Strangely literature from the Indian sub-continent was missing, discovered it much later in life because of the biased remnants of English based education system in sections of (the then) Modern India. Although a regret at some level it, I can't say the formative years were lacking in terms of input. Meaningful literature generally supersedes all else to reflect on the human state.
