Vicken tarpinian biography of rory

The décor in your right mind my inspiration, I start chirography and composing.

At the same alter, at any hour, Especially kindness dawn or late at slapdash, Near the window, in significance same chair,

Time disappears.

Memories, events, coterie, family members come to send back, pushing my pen to transcribe, as in a journal.

You be born with recollections as well.

Pictures within frames.

Episodes from adolescence.

Letters written, dream filled,

of beautiful stories and happy moments.

Of solitude and monotonous hours

The shout and nudges of love.

Times thoroughgoing sharing, meeting, separating, missing family.

The imprecise and melancholy wordings learn uprooted people

P.S. Back at greatness same cate, 

at an outside fare, pen in hand,

I'm waiting, I'm writing, 

come join me.
