Love Notes in Erratic Tones presents romantic love in all its facets.
The author’s first book, Beauty, Poetry & Flow: Birthed in Travail, chronicles her hajj from tragedy to triumph as an abuse survivor. Through Love Notes in Erratic Tones: Melancholy & Melodies, the author takes us on a free-flowing flight through all aspects of love and relationships in a raw, passionate, and realistic way. The book presents heartbreak and healing, emptiness and ecstasy in the author’s own unique voice and style. Ending on a positive note, the book moves us seamlessly from negative to positive and examines feelings we’ve all felt at one time or another.
Excerpt
Reciprocity
I am the expanse of the sky
consecrating the wind to you
though
my heart bleeds raindrops
at the thought of surrender
like menses
a natural and periodic cleansing
but
there is no period
only a contiuum of exertion
before I m laid to rest again
seeking reciprocity
desperately seeking reciprocity

'..my heart bleeds raindrops
