A Warrior's Songs

"I believe that Poetry is the aesthetic act; that poetry is not the poem, for the poem may be nothing more than a series of symbols. Poetry, I believe, is the poetic act that takes place when the poet writes it, when the reader reads it, and it always happens in a slightly different manner. If one doesn't feel the poetic event upon reading it, the poet has failed. Poetry is magical, mysterious and unexplainable without oversimplifying it." - Jorge Luis Borges in an interview with Roberto Alifano

Dearest Reader,

This is a collection of poems, which are reflections of the way we live, the way we love, the way we feel, the way we grow and the way we finally leave for the eternal journey to the unknown.

It's a teenager's perspective, and could very well be wrong. But as we all know, and as my Father has rightly said to me, "There's no good and bad, right and wrong, true and false. Everything we sense, know and believe is merely our own little Opinion."

Like I've said before, my attempt to write poems, verses and proses is and will always be, an endeavour of my heart, a piece of my soul's treasures.
And anyone who reads them is entitled to their own opinion about them. I would be the happiest person in the entire Multiverse, if someone initiates a discussion and/or starts a debate with me about my pieces of writing. Feel free to speak your heart out with your comments, suggestions, questions and views. I value them the most.

Yours forever,
WaterLily.
