In the cosmic expanse of time, I've journeyed to craft this ethereal collection, a constellation of words orbiting the nucleus of my life. Unlike my previous works, this poetic anthology ventures beyond the familiar galaxies, exploring realms of love, the depths of animosity, and the melancholic twilight of fractured companionship.
Each piece is a comet trailing the echoes of my emotions- anger, fury, disappointment, epiphany, and the rawness of my heart.
As you delve into these 16 poems and prose compositions, may they align with the constellations of your own soul, sparking cosmic resonance and celestial reflection.
For this is my life, the fragments of my story.
My bursting realization;
My hostile comment;
every person is a comet
Rejection. Betrayal. Heartbreak. Grief.
Unfortunately, we've all had a swallow, some more than others, of this bitter brew.
This is just a sliver of my chapter that is a part of this world's grand narrative; it's about one person's toe dipping into the brokenness of the Earth, and the ripples, waves, tsunamis it created in her life.
A couple of months ago, while consoling a friend grieving the loss of a relationship, he asked me a question no one had ever asked me before. A very vulnerable and powerful question. I had been sharing some of my own similar experiences with him when he messaged me that life changing question,
"And, what did you see at the top of the mountain?"
While his words were just letters on a screen, I could see the hunger in his eyes, hear the desperation in his voice, sense the overwhelming thirst of a person climbing up an incredibly steep and treacherous mountain.
What did I see at the top of the mountain?
This book is my answer to this question.
Let's go for a hike.
