three words away

journey to the first poetry and prose book & gratitude

there was a rose

and what your name in my notebook

was written for.

the bedrock of this piece

three words away includes writings from when i was sixteen until nineteen, when catching glimpses of intimacy among people was a mixture of fresh impressions and unravelling.

partly yearning, partly being in someone's shoes, partly resonating — i poured on a paper an adolescence's picture of the still-vague world of bond, bursting at the seams with both tenderness and detachment.

speaking of the world of bond

my writer friends;

my teachers in English, communication, creative writing, and values;

my inspirations who are poets, literary writers, and artists;

my best friends;

my family and relatives;

my father and my mother and my older brother;

my Creator,

wholehearted thank you for this possibility.
