Mon ami
Mon ami, the dense fabric of life
has caught us in its sticky cobwebs!
Wrapping its cutting strings
around the throats of our days,
it squeezes us to the last drop!
How we hold our breaths
in fearful anticipations of what lays
beyond the thick fog of our destinies..
How like I a leech, I cling to you
for survival, feeding on the gripping aura of
warmth surrounding you, to
melt out the frost that
has been accumulating around
my heart for ages….
Drinking your presence in these moments
which Life spares me like an addictive elixir!!
Mon ami , mon ami
Our moon-starved lives are bleeding darkness,
when your life brushes against mine it strikes flint
in the dimming veins of my horizons…
Yet, this bitterness is inconsolable
I'm choking with your indigestible
Absence , wishing to change the course
Of fates…..

About the Book
This book is about a journey of one thousand tears and a smile. It's a stroll along the rocky shore of memories, a visit to the ruins of dreams and a voyage across the hazardous ocean of life. The idea started as a challenge to break through the boundaries of silence, to prove that the soul has its own sanctuaries and that only those who absorb its suffering manage to fathom its depths. Whether Shams has succeeded in revealing the tales of her soul or not is yet to be found through the pages of this book.
