The Innocent Years

This is a collection of poems mainly written during the period April 1997 to March 2005, between the ages of sixteen to twenty-four of my life, which marks the important transition from adolescence to adulthood.

The poems can be classified into four broad categories, namely Nature, Love and Friendship, Life, and the People who made a difference in my life. What I feel is central to my poetry is the fact it represents the process of observing the world through curious eyes and deriving my own interpretations and deductions from the observations, however imperfect or incorrect they may be. Put simply, it is just an attempt to express the feelings my heart experienced, by means of words that my mind suggested.
