Midnight Madness Under the Pomegranate Tree Farhad Zaltash First edition

Then, there is poetry when everything else seems to be a roadblock in life. Like a secret door in a room filled with darkness it unexpectedly opens up and light comes in; a gateway to that sea that we all have deep inside but hardly dare to acknowledge.

"Midnight-Madness-Under-Pomegranate-Tree" book of poetry is a journey of soul and heart through life's diverse and varied dimensions. Poems are spiritual themed: deep, engaging, intense, at-times pure, at-times sensual, at-times humorous, most-of-the-times uplifting and inspirational, and from-time-to-time hilarious, but always with a profound message.

Romance, friendship, family, wealth, old-age, death, loss and grief, god and religion, and nature are amongst its themes looked at and explored beyond day-to-day and conventional beliefs in a simple but thought-provoking language.

Not only the book does not shy away from life's tragic, sad or bitter experiences, but rather seeks out to find sweetness that is always behind these dark curtains of life's moments.
