		<description>gemma,

it is my gratitude too, to include you in my blogroll. you deserve that space in my blogworld. yeah, there is such power in the written words that stretches beyond one's lifetime. our affinity to it would make us saner persons whose objective is to magnify the beauty of the moment, in its honesty and purity.

yeah, i believe that there are some grey areas in between, which we, poets should try to clarify.

best of times,
marvin</description>

		<description>zen,

at first, i just wanted to be quiet and solitary. but it seems now, that i need to connect with my readers. i have learned from jeques, without him telling me, that the joy of the poet transcends the power of words when it had a lasting impression to another, in this case, the reader.  

i think now, that it is not right for a poet to appear isolated and distant, since the readers reaction are not just vain babblings but an honest mirror.  the readers have muster an inspiring amount of courage for them to put forward their voices, be it appreciation or contradiction.  it helps the poet to think through and constructively become better writers.

happy reading.

best of times,
marvin</description>

		<description>I too have just found myself on your blogroll! I really don't know why! But I do know we clearly share an intense love of words ~ the whirlpool of their reality, illusions and delusions and all the shades of greyscale in between!</description>

		<description>Looking forward to your new posts, Marvin!

I'm a voracious reader, and I feel so satiated reading your articles. 

I'm re-reading most of them, checking if I missed something.

I wish you well.

		<description>Marvin,

I have completed reading all your poems and articles and I have to say that you flew me in a magic carpet ride to the many beautiful directions of your mind's travels and your soul and heart's magnificent journeys. 

Your words filled my basin brimful of inspirations. It is rare for us to find in this lifetime somebody who connects to our thoughts in a strange way, but that rare thing happened to me while reading your works and you understand why through the comments I left in them.

I look forward for more and lasting collaborations with you here and if God allows us in other venues.

You mentioned you are intereted to become a contributor in my poetry corner: A Quiet Place To Rest at Laarnians.com I mentioned you already to the creator of the website. Please visit the site: 

http://laarnians.com/

And register so I could recommend your status be upgraded to author and you could freely contribute your great works. The community is a dynamic group of filipinos from around the world and I believe your being part of it would add to the excitement and inspiration.

Please let me know of anything through my email add or leave me a message at my web nook for any questions.

I wish you well.

		<description>John, it is just okay if we have contradicting views about religion. I love diversity  of opinions and i don't intend to twist anyone's belief. 

This blog thing, is a healthy exercise for the mind. Silently, after all the merits of an argument has been raised by two opposing sides, at the end of day, we know from ourselves, the someone on the other side has a point somewhere. 

We can just accept that all of us have our different point of views, our different individualities and different set of truths. It depends if you  agree or disagree, maybe because, in each of us, there are some sort parallelisms in our life experiences.

Thanks for visiting my page. Honestly, I admire the way you write in such intensity of thought. And the power of your words is so affecting and a bit persuasive.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot for including my site in your blogroll; although it appears to me that we have contradicting persuasion and belief in what they refer to as the almighty. 

I wish you all the best in your writing.</description>
