The Weeping Laburnums-Poems of Despondency Pain and Hope

About the Book: The Weeping Laburnums is divided into three parts-despondency pain and hope. Pain is eternal. The book helps one own it and walk into the real world a little wiser and calmer. The poems of despondency deal with the shelter homes and trace their roots to the lurking darkness in some homes. Pain is subtle internal till the vault breaks the dam collapses and the heart bleeds like a tiny drop wobbling and then crystallizing. The dialogue between Nobody and Somebody is an eye-opener. Hope hangs like the last yellow-brown leaf hanging precariously till a new leaf turns over. And then it gently falls! Each verse connects the author and the reader in a symphony as if there were no one else but the reader and the author feeling the emotions in unison.
