I burned and I burned all night.And in the morning they found your nameIn my ashes.Raqs is a collection of poems rich in imagery and blatantly expressive of love in all its glory and pain. The poet takes you on a journey of self-awareness passion and an ascent towards divine love. Raqs brings together the divine and human the mystical and the real creating a tapestry of poetic images. Moving beyond one's own limitations the poems surrender themselves in the open fields of love. I cannot get dispassionate.I was created to loveAnd write poetry.There is romance in her soul and a yearning for its creator. This is an open love for her master. I find myself drowning in her imagery each time I read this. If you too are seeking the one open this book and read her poetry.- Zafer Mohiuddin writer/actor/director
