Moonlit Monochrome and A Teaspoon Of Stars
Bestselling Books
These poems happened to me at random, insignificant moments. They are still damp, from loss. They manifest wild ways to look at ordinary things. I am picking up pieces of life and handing them over to you dipped in words and longing. This book is a map of my soul.
My moonlit monochrome.
This book, with its arms wide open for an embrace will identify with your suffering, give you hope, home. When you read it, you will know what I mean. The undercurrents of suffering and survival connect us to each other in a cosmic way. Our own ‘Teaspoon Of Stars’ in the bitter black nights.
May all your scars, slowly turn into stars.
