"Varaghe -Eshgh" Many people seek love, which is a foundation for awareness in life. This book of poems is intended for those who seek true love in life. It is titled "Varaghe -Eshgh," which translates in English to "Pages of Love." Irfan, which is often translated as gnosis, means wisdom, knowledge, awareness or enlightenment. It is a path that is universal, and has a significant place in Persian poetry. This book echoes the spirituality of Irfan. Use of words like love, wine, fire etc. as metaphors is common in gnostic poems, by which one can convey a spiritual message in a more powerful way. Poems of this book came to me over a period of years from various motivations and inspirations. The connectivity in nature and my appreciation is the common thread. Parts of this Book This book is composed in two parts. The first part of this book is basically observation and experimentation. In this part I was asking myself what my life would look like, if: I never had the opportunity to attach with someone. I had never been away from someone I loved to feel separation. I never experienced the joy of seeing her again. I never saw the beauty in blue sky and the ocean. I could never see awesome existence of stars in black sky. I spent my life in hate and animosity and greed. I couldn't hear the sound of music. I couldn't tell the difference between good and evil. The second part reflects my appreciation of life and all that I have. My motivation was my longing for fire to touch my soul and burn my desires, to bring me awareness in life and live in my heart forever.
