Making Love In The Air And Other Impressions

These two hundred and forty odd poems are based on actual experience. They were written, one poem a day, during the last six to seven years. All poetry is confessional in nature, from a certain uneasiness arising from doubts about the world and how we have been tackling it. Poetry is a way in which one can make sense of life. The magic of words enthralls us by the pictures they hide. The poems about nature are a celebration of nature in all her glory. The poems are based on actual experiences of nature's beauty that have evoked pleasure giving sensations in the poet, and the poems try to give expressions to the joy. Some poems on nature are experiences recreated as if by short brushstrokes, as they have impacted the author’s mind. They may be perceived in layers of sound to a kind of ripple effect touching several things at the same time and are meant to be perceived in a haze. Some of the poems are object poems, so called because the focus is on the nature of things, on the light that falls on them, telling their stories, the way they share space with other things and us.

"One of the foremost relationship experts at work today applies the insights of science toward understanding the real meaning of trust between a couple. He decodes the "why" behind betrayal and shows how partners can avoid or recover from unfaithfulness and maintain a loving relationship.Dr. John Gottman, the country's pre-eminent researcher on marriage, is famous for his Love Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle where he deciphers the mysteries of human relationships through scientific research. His thirty-five years of exploration have earned him numerous major awards, including from the National Institute of Mental Health, the American Psychological Association, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. Now, Dr. Gottman offers surprising findings and advice on the characteristic that is at the heart of all relationships: Trust. Dr. Gottman has developed a formula that precisely calculates any couple's loyalty level. The results determine a relationship's likely future, including the potential for one or both partners to stray. A Love You Can Trust shows couples how to bolster their trust level and avoid what Dr. Gottman calls the "Roach Motel for Lovers." He describes how the outcome of--"sliding door moments," small pivotal points between a couple, can lead either to more emotional connection or to discontent. He suggests a new approach to handling adultery and reveals the varied and unexpected non-sexual ways that couples often betray each other. A Love You Can Trust guides couples through an empirically tested, trust-building program that will let them repair and maintain a long-term, intimate, and romantic relationship"--

If choosing a soul mate were a life-or-death decision, would you choose more carefully?

What would you do if you made the wrong choice-and a loved one died as a result?

How would you feel if the person you loved didn't love you back-and it cost you everything?

You would think these choices would be easy for Chloe Davenport, a young girl born with the powers of impression. Chloe can read people's intentions. She knows a person's true nature. It is said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and for young Chloe, that's about to come true.

At great cost, she will learn a painful lesson. What was once a valuable gift now seems like more of a curse. Her impressions fooled, her desires heightened, her instincts distorted, she doesn't know what's real and what's a dangerous lie. She doesn't know how special she is-or how dangerous these abilities can be. And now, she's torn between two perfect guys. Caught in a fight for her life and true love, Chloe must learn to trust herself before it's too late. As her impressions grow stronger, she does too.

But will she be strong enough to know the truth when-and if-it is ever revealed?
