The Riddles of My Mind

Collection of Poems

Why would you want to cage a bird, how is that seeing it's true beauty. Set the beautiful Bird free and the songs of flight will show you the real beauty . . . (excerpt from Flights Above Skies). Riddles on My Mind is a new collection of old poems by Nyesha Jane Farag, which were secretly hidden away in her cupboard drawer for many years. They were private impressions, internal struggles that calmed and energized her in times of personal crisis. They formed a catharsis in the challenges that lay ahead. Almost secretly written, some under candlelight, Nyesha shied away from ever publishing. Eventually she recited a few to her family and friends who were aghast at their richness, relevance, and beauty! Some verge on the metaphysical (self-spoken rather than lyrical), and these soulful memories bring warmth and a human reality to the cold light of day.
