Whiteless Thoughts - Bits of darkness and love is the first volume in the Poems series of short poetry books written by Lavi Picu. It's a collection of poems that reveals to the reader the emotional turmoil endured by the author during her darkest hours of sickness and pain caused by Lyme disease. The book is inspired by moments of despair, hopelessness, depression and sadness, depicting feelings of rejection, withdrawn, betrayal, fears, loss and death.
Lavi Picu is a Canadian author, majored in Linguistics, with a background in translations and writing. She's also a blogger and an artist with a focus on health and arts. After being diagnosed with Lyme disease, she decided to ignite awareness and pursue her life dreams: travel the world, paint, write and illustrate children's books, publish her work.
The main theme in this book is pain. The author suffers from physical and financial pain caused by lyme disease. There is also the theme of heartbreak expressed emotionally in some poems. I can only hope for the poet to find more strength.
I thought I was blown away by "Burden of Love," but this collection is the other's rival. Another collection of the darkness and light mixture in love. "Bitter Love" really ignited my heart, soul, and memories simultaneously. I remember what it was like to be in love, the pain of falling without a safety, and the scar as the aftermath. And then, "Dance of the Wounded Souls" paints a picture of broken, wounded people endlessly dancing, no longer able to remember the "why." LOVE IT! Awesome, profound pieces that will leave an imprint on you.
