Closing the Wound (A Collection of Poems)

Rumi says“The wound is where light enters.” Yet one wouldn’t keep it open for long. Fears and instinct overtake reason and wisdom. But closure is not always possible…..throbbing pain gives way to dull ache and a scar is born. And at times,a wound, well healed, opens up…without warning..That’s when you realise it was never stitched….only covered with your escapism. Each piece in the anthology throbs with a pain beyond the senses and yet within one’s grasp.
