Varaghe Eshgh - Part 3

About the Book

Many people seek love which is: A foundation for awareness in life
This book of poems is intended for those who seek true love in life. It is titled “Varaghe –Eshgh,” which translates to "Page de l’amoure”
Irfan, which is often translated as gnosis means: Wisdom, Knowledge and Awareness.
It is a path that is universal, and has a significant place in Persian poetry.
This book echoes the spirituality of Irfan. Use of words like love, wine, fire etc. as Metaphor is common in gnostic poems, by which one can convey a spiritual message in a deeper sense and powerful way.
Poems of this book came to me over a period of years from various motivations and inspirations. The connectivity within nature is the thread.
