Kahanikar's Intro

The cover reads "My Personal Diary",
A perfect alibi to my story..


The diary begins with a torn page,
Life begins with a scorned age..

The pages are smudged with ink,
The corpse of life stinks..

Think about writing my first confession,
The first thing that comes to mind is my obsession..

I scribble on the paper with a broken pencil,
All that remains is a tattered stencil..

I draw and erase like an artist in progression,
All it leaves behind is a soul in transition..

I try to straighten out the yellowing paper,
A part of me being crooked forever..

I notice signs of wear and tear,
The soul that dwelled in this body is no longer here.
