Reality and Myth: When Two Worlds Collide

The many facets of love induce feelings of ecstasy, delight, fulfillment and sometimes agony and pain. Here is a collection of poems linking two worlds, the east and the west in a collision track. Whether it is, Lonely without you, If I could share his song, To you mother from miles away or To Rosy, you can see the emotions bursting from the author’s heart, the feelings of love to parents, spouse, children and friends. The forbidden territories of love, the encounters of dreams with reality and the analysis of heart’s desires - in the author’s words - will touch your heart. So, relax and read, but be prepared for your eyes to get wet as you become totally involved in the poems.
