    About this ebook

    Toska is a collection of a ton of poems. The theme that runs like a binding thread is a womans perspective of love, life, world, and relationships. In my journey of self-realization, I also found new insights into the world and people around me. So many times, random words and quotes triggered chains of thoughts.

    Sharing these thoughts with the reader is the next step. I end where the reader begins.

    All creativity is a description of the psyche. Perhaps in my musings the reader shall find a clarification of their turmoil.

    The plaid world of perfect relationships
    She wants to go
    Why do you feel like a destination?
    I like to see the bed unmade
    I talk myself through my life
    Wedded to a commitment
    I wish to move now

    Narinder Kaur

    This book is a maiden venture by Narinder Kaur. I am a mother, homemaker, bibliophile, English enthusiast, grammar nazi, public speaker, soft-skills trainer turned poetess. I have a master’s degree in English. But that is not the point. The point is, I have recently fallen in love with myself, and I wish to celebrate it with the whole world through my words.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
