Distorted Social Perception – It’s Only Me
Khal Drogo ( Game of Thrones ) Illustrated by Katerina-Art (deviantArt)
Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Vashti Quiroz-Vega, for those of you visiting for the first time. I am a writer of Fantasy, Suspense and Thrillers. I do, however, have a tendency to mix a little Romance, Horror or Humor (among other genres) into my stories.
I love art, creativity and beauty, and I know these come in many forms. In my quest to build my author platform, I have met and befriended a group of incredibly talented individuals. Writers, poets, artists, and musicians who are masterful at what they do. I feel blessed to have found them, and I would be selfish if I kept the beauty, artistry and creativeness of their craft all to myself.
So for the next few weeks I will be featuring their art, writings and music along with my own work on this blog. I guarantee you will enjoy every bit of it.
This week I will continue my features, and introduce the very talented poet and writer Rohit Chaudhury.
Rohit has written two powerful, passionate and deeply-felt poems, which I’m sure everyone will enjoy. There is beauty in honesty and his words are that and more.
The Love Story of Khal Drogo and Daenerys
Drogo was a powerful Dothraki Kahl and Daenerys a beautiful princess. Their union was an arrangement by Daenerys’ brother who hoped to use Drogo’s horde to win back the Iron Throne for himself. Daenerys did not want to marry Drogo, but her brother forced her to do so. Daenerys knew nothing about this exotic looking man, but her perception of Drogo was that he was a brutal savage who would hurt her and mistreat her. She was wrong.

Me
Why do you flee in my sight,
is it fear or is it my might.
Is it because I have seen pain,
to fulfill my foolish gains.
Is it because,
I watch you with cruelty.
With truth in my heart,
I curse quite fluently.
Is this the price,
to live genuinely.
A mask free life,
you all need so poorly.
You see me,
with your crooked sight.
You scorn me,
with your pretentious life.
I don’t care,
if it’s not justified.
Because this is the way,
one should live his life.
I know it’s unwise,
to live a life un-prioritized.
But I wish to die,
living my destined life.
~ Rohit Chaudhury

Thank You
The sparkle in your eyes,
makes me wonder,
am I worthy of you?
My life was freed,
from certain sadness,
by the touch of your livelihood.
Not a movement ceases to be beautiful,
as my heart has finally sung,
was my life just waiting for you?
You are my miracle,
and you are my angel,
my love, thank you.
~ Rohit Chaudhury

“It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see.
The writer shakes up the familiar scene, an, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
~ Anais Nin
“It hurts when you try to do what’s right, and all they see in you is wrong.
~ Unknown
“I’m not interested in trying to work on people’s perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don’t take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.”
~ Jim Brown
