Acceptance Poem by Raj Arumugam
Acceptance
Perhaps what I am is false to you
and you have no faith in what seems;
or perhaps you see what I seem to be
and wonder if this is what could be;
and what should be; or even perhaps
what seems and what is do not meet to be;
or perhaps on either side simply
what seems is not what is, and what is
does not seem to be.
So you deny me.
(from The Migrant - notes of a newcomer (February 1997- July 1998))
with regards to this line: what seems and what is do not meet to be; .... is this a typo? The grammar here makes no sense to me you see. Please explain? Ruthy

Dear Ruthy There is no typo error in that. I'm quite satisfied with that line - but a s I see it now, the lines that follow are a bit contrived. Thanks for making me think about what I have here on this site.I'll spend some time looking through my poems again to amend where necessary.
