Beautiful words that touch my soul

Actual Rating: 3.5/5
Musings of an introvert is a collection of short poems and haikus. Haiku is a Japanese poetry writing style and traditionally there are only three lines with total 17 syllables.
Haikus in the book are written on varied topics like nature, birds, life and personal observations. Other 4 sections have short poems on love, women, our world and darkness and desire. The book is a quick read, uncomplicated & not emotionally draining like some poetry books are. I really enjoyed reading the last two sections as they are very relatable with some very meaningful and thought provoking poems!
Sharing a few poems that I liked from the book to conclude my review -
'There is a bit of the devil in all of us.
Lurking in the shadows,
hidden from all
When Fear is dead or sleeping,
the Devil emerges and clutches
us in his evil thrall.'
Through the eyes of a a baby-
'Envious of your wondrous gaze
I wish I could borrow their innocence
All sights unseen, all sounds unheard
Birth of a new adventure,
an new journey.'
Time -
'I struggle to halt its constant trickle
Flying away as I grab at it in vain
I feel it ticking away constantly
Closer to the end, the end
of all my pain.'
