Verses Through Time

By Amina Ara Malik

‘Through the shadows, I notice the river,
Gleaming in the moonlight, silver water’

Verses Through Time is a collection of poetry, exploring a patchwork of themes, taking the reader on a genuine, thought provoking and poignant journey through the clockwork mind of darkness and deep thought.

As the themes change, the atmosphere transforms, further inviting the reader into the different realms of the author’s mind, through the struggles with mental health, personal experiences, inspirations, and the exhibits of a writer’s imaginative world.
