Rubies from My Dusty Closet

Rubies from My Dusty Closet is like discovering a treasure chest long wanting to be found. It is the realization of a passionate dream. The name has a literal meaning. It has my favorite poem that I wrote in college long time back, getting intensely touched by the sacrifice of a young soldier who died fighting for his country's freedom. Ever since, any fascinating real-life occurrence steered me to create poetry. During a closed one's suicide, I resorted to writing to deal with the pain. It healed me. It became an addiction I sought shelter in. Extremes of emotion-failure, death, love, suffering, joy, beauty-and universal and human experiences influenced my pen to keep weaving, keeping me whole and helping me survive. I love meaningful poetry with a message-something that enlightens body and spirit and soothes as many times as you read it. I believe my book will connect the world spiritually through a sense of purpose and heal ailing hearts. This book is very special to me or anyone who feels the spirit of life that keeps its chemistry at balance, of what we all will become aware at some point in life. If you enjoy romancing the starry sky on the summit of a hill, Propagate soulful love that becomes immortal, If you value the goodness in life and making others happy, If scarifying gains you mental peace, If you love dearly and believe in love despite unrequited, Endure the pain of losing someone closest to your heart, If you dream big and believe in a fighter spirit, And have shed tears for someone who's parted, If you have been broken badly and striving to heal, This book is for you. Much love, Dr. Javeria Hayat Khan
