2013 out, 2014 in

Sending off 2013

Laughter, smiles, enjoyment, entertainment, peace and relaxation
Lost their meaning for this poet poor starting September 2013
Tears, fears, anxiety, disappointment, dejection and hopelessness
Have filled this life since that fateful day of revelations, affronts
Turning 55 with a heavy heart, facing retirement and rejection
Cast out of life's stream; change overtaking my life's journey

Waiting for love

While waiting for love to bloom again
The heart flounders dangerously

New horizon

A new horizon opening up
With everything changed in life
The darkness ahead long, harrowing
Stumbling forward holding on to faith
Short flickers of hope light the path
Tears washing the dirt covered markers
A sanity preserved by patience's hold
Keeps alive our life's mission.

Have just completed The Breadwinner mini novel. Wrapped up the book in 9 chapters. Need to tweek the last chapter a bit more before I am satisfied to call it complete. This is my first novel and I am determined to make it a good read for all my readers. I hope to continue my writing with another slightly longer mini novel followed by a full scale novel.
I hope to follow the publication of The Breadwinner with an anthology of short stories and another of poems.

Back to blogging.

It has been a busy two months of immersion in the writing of my first mini-novel The Breadwinner. Am into the 7th chapter now. Seeing the publication of the 6th chapter of the mini-novel in weekly serialised episodes in The Free Malaysia Today online media since its start on March 17. http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2013/07/21/the-breadwinner
