Nikao's Psalms

Born on one of the archipelagic islands in one of the best countries in the world and parent to two beautiful children who are my gifts. Writing short pieces is more than just a form of expression but has been part of my sheer survival. The ability to articulate on paper what largely could not be shared then with another human being is therapeutic for in doing so it created hope, put things into perspective and even helped to prophesy things which were to come to pass in the author's life.

The writings encapsulate the vulnerability, frustrations, anger, irregularities and resulting pain and hope of the author's emotions while still concealing, even from the author, intricate details of each situation that gave birth to each writing.

The investment in publishing is an investment in pain with the hope that someone somewhere would be able to decode the writing and translate it into the same hope the author has found. Being such a private individual, it has taken considerable deliberation to release writings from my soul and Robert Frost says "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader." Need I say more than this?
