La femme demigod- An all-mighty, all powerful Picture of a monumental portrait Designed upon the stain glass Of tomorrow’s mural: -A glamorous window of fame and fortune -A vase of gold ripening in the sun.

PORTRAIT OF A GODDESS
THE SELFISH MIRROR
Selfish!
Selfish!
Selfish!
I screamed
As I woke up this morning
And broke one more selfish mirror.
Selfish I screamed.
As I stomped on it
And broke it
And broke it.
As the selfish mirror
Ordered me one more time
To go back to my dead empty existence.
“Go back thou doomedst thing
To thy dark empty isolated corner
And never thou shalt comest back.
Thou darest defy me
Thou doomedst thing
With all thy thousands ivory medals
Thou shalt always be doomed.”
Saith the selfish mirror.

About the Book
This book is a breakthrough in modern day poetry. It is an eclectic book that reflects contemporary society with its problems and its vision. In this book, the author uses her talent as a gifted poet to paint a rather realistic picture of the human condition, where she also vividly describes the struggle for survival. Within the passages of her poems, the author debates upon the issue of fate versus faith. She also contemplates the nature of truth versus happiness. She offers spiritual hope, and some thoughts on meditation. Throughout the book, the theme is a quest for truth, a quest for freedom: freedom from our daily anguish, freedom from miseries, and from madness. Most importantly, the author also offers insight on the role of the poet today and/or how the poet is viewed within society.
