Moon Child - by ~ Rushali Mukherjee

🦋Poems have a mysterious ways to play with the chords of our heart and how when it gets synchronises with our emotions the chaos of our heart gets a direction The warmth we receive when words wraps  us. Pandemonium of our heart fades in the labyrinth of emotions embedded in the words by the poet.

🍁MOON CHILD ~by~ RUSHALI MUKHERJEE will let you find solace during those gloomy, melancholic days of  in the soundlessness of nature, innocent love, those beautiful fantasies of yours, the warmth and memory of your loved ones and this inconceivably vast

🌊This books goes on with an enigmatic flow connecting each poems to the others. The free verses enlightens us that there's a hope waiting for us in the dark and we are beautiful just the way we are, there is a rebellious fire of hope that burn within us to fight against all adversaries and we are all made of mystic if we are hushed no one will ever be able to witness our magic

          // When I hold you in my arms 

         The sunshine loses its charm //

🌊This book tells us about the emptiness of heart when all its feelings are drained and the void created by someone's departure And reminds us about the nights when some undefined, incomprehensible gloom and melancholy overcasting our beautifully broken soul and the only ray of hope being the love from our closed ones and the sacrifice and unconstitutional love from our parents that keeps us going.

🌊Some verses makes us think about the well wishers who remain concealed behind the masks of being a stranger , to treasure the ones who listens, appreciate and understands even our silence and how sometimes the best things are heard when we remain silent and what a brave thing it is to remain soft and sensitive in this cruel world

                    ✨ I promise

              To make you believe

    That I find poetry in your words

               Music in your voice

       And Comfort in your eyes ✨

🌊Some verse reminds us about the love that promise to stays with us even if the world goes against us, and how that little squeeze of his hands can keep us sane when we are on the verge of breaking apart and about the only person we will have when the day ends when darkness arrives

🌊Again some poems taking us to the other end of the horizon where the reality hurts and fantasy gives us comforts ,where attachment  is like a fragile strings that gets detach after sometimes. Where we aren't aware if the other person was drowning in darkness when we are shinning in starlight

🦋And lastly it telling us to love and embrace our scars as that's what makes us unique and beautiful 

               ✨ When  I draw

               I draw to impress

        My own unsatisfied soul✨

 🍃It's not only about reading the beautiful verses but finding yourself  in those powerful expression of words and feel certain emotions that got covered with dust and cobwebs and was neglected for a long time kept in one corner of mind 

🍂I would recommend this book to all poetry lovers who finds solace and warmth in the wave of words and solitude🍂

// The sun casts shadows 

    And you drown in them

    Saying that sunlight

    Is too bright for you. //

The Storyteller ~ by ~ Sana Rose

💙Ghosts from past keeps haunting our present.

Memories fade away but it's shadows never leaves , the known becomes unknown and the fear of unknown keeps looming in our mind, numbing our senses, making us anxious, distraughted. Moments that demands our pure faith but in the end leaves our soul to bleed in pain to death.

🌿

🍂THE STORYTELLER BY SANA ROSE, witnesses us with such a poignant tale of Zara,who spent a lonely childhood, fighting her own inner demons and grief that ripped her soul every moment of the existence and her supposed mother Lara became a fear factor for her instead of protection She always made her feel like a broken doll who was hurt in a way no girl should be hurt She cocooned herself in a shell she made around herself and life was just a mere survival for her.

When one day an unknown emailer send her a mail, it was the storyteller ,whose words wrapped her in a web of belonging and peace unknowingly

🌿

💙Then came a ray of sunshine and hope when after eight years she again meet her stepcousin Zach who flawlessly loved her and want to heal her, become her strength in order to fight her past demons

🌿

🍁By love through faith Zach , Zara and The Storyteller fight through all darkness in the hope to find light in the end. Exploring love, loss, betrayal,grief,pain in between. With trembling hands, tormented souls and bruised hearts all set to fight against all odds for the ones that matter to them.

🌿🍁The Storyteller is a poignant narrative, exploring childhood trauma , a woman caught between PTSD and high functioning normalcy though I predicted the end after few chapters (side effects of reading too much thrillers) but its not the destination but the journey that matters. And this journey will make you laugh,cry ,feel and dwell in deep emotions. I was so said that the story that became a part of me had to end.

🌿

🍁I recommend this book to everyone do read do read you won't ever repent 🍁

An Unquenchable Excess Of Love

An Unquenchable Excess Of Love -

by ~ Anjutha Ranganathan

Poetry🍁 as a child poetry for me was a short read with numerous short verses following a definite rhythm and each line ending with rhyming words But as I grow up I came to explore about the different layers of abundant emotions that lays within that poetry. I felt that poems in reality are the embodiment of writer's deep thoughts, emotions, love and journey in the labyrinth of words🍂

🦋An Unquenchable Excess Of Love by @anjutha_ranganathan  is one such poetry book that contains soulful poems that is wrapped with different layers of thoughts and emotions and talks about the most delicate and precious feeling that forms the cornerstone of human heart that is love, the emotion which sometimes gives us a boundless peace and sometimes creates an unparalleled pandemonium

🦋

🖤This book beautifully describes the journey of a heart in love from its falling to breaking to healing

🖤

✨This book is divided into three parts:

🦋Part 1~ The Falling ~ This part explores the initial stages of Love, the new found passion and friendship.This part narrates the feelings of a young heart touched by the magic of love

💝

🦋Part 2~ The Breaking~ This part takes us to the time when a cleavage formation starts  in the most cherished relation of ours and suddenly the furrow deepens breaking us apart. The excess of love that we have cherished till now falls out of our grasp and ultimately leaves us in an immense agony as a farewell gift

💔

🦋Part 3~ The Healing ~ This part extraordinarily depicts that love can hurt us break us but an heart in love is beautiful enough to heal again and love again maybe this time loving your ownself

💛

 ✨ "Why stay in the ground,

When you are capable of touching the stars?"✨

🌸I absolutely love this book and will recommend everyone to read it believe me you won't regret

🌸

💙In simple language this book beautifully narrates the story of an heart in love and the emotional turmoil it goes through. Embedded with richness of vocabulary and deep thoughts this book explores the simple to the complex feelings of  love and how sometimes acceptance becomes the ultimate source to welcome the Unquenchable Excess Of Love.

I was completely awestruck by the author's language , sharp yet pliable, raw yet soothing, her attention to detail and her ability to conjure the lost, the spoken,the less tangible. A perfectly engrossing read.🍁
