Love is the bridge - Tales of...

Vikas Agarwal

What if your deepest longing belonged to someone who lived before you? 
Spanning continents and generations, Love is the Bridge is an epic tale of three love stories—one of forbidden desire, one of sacred surrender, and one of a soul divided across time. 
From New York’s boardrooms to Rumi’s Konya, from a Berlin haunted by memory to the vanished gardens of Shiraz and Kabul, Arian Nazrani’s journey begins as a search for truth. At the helm of a crumbling tech company, he finds himself unraveling—caught between the demands of a fading world and the stirrings of a deeper call. 
When he uncovers his uncle Masud’s lost diary—a poetic chronicle of heartbreak and mystical awakening—Arian is drawn into a world where time dissolves, and love transcends lifetimes. 
In the whirl of sacred rhythm, past and present collapse—and Arian glimpses a love that once lived through Masud, and now lives again through him. 
This is a story of longing. 
Of exile and return. 
Of love that survives death and distance. 
Because time is an illusion. 
And love is the bridge.

Petrarch's Canzoniere -...

Francesco Petrarch

Francesco Petrarch's Canzoniere (translated in English as 'Scattered Rhymes') is a collection of 14th century poems famed for their deep exploration of love, grief, spirituality and nature. Written over the course of forty years (approximately between 1328-1368), this collection includes 317 sonnets, 29 canzoni, 9 sestine, 4 madrigals and 7 ballate.
These Scattered Rhymes almost always return to Laura, a women who Petrarch loves deeply, whom he first saw on a Good Friday. On this same day, some years later, Laura died. But Petrarch's love does not wane, in fact at points it burns brighter. Il Canzoniere also serves as a valuable contemporary insight into 14th century religion and the role of the papacy in Christendom.
Petrarch's work is one of civilization's most immaculate achievements. Michael R. G. Spiller regards Il Canzoniere as 'the single greatest inspiration for the love poetry of Renaissance Europe until well into the seventeenth century'.
Following his acclaimed translation of Dante's Inferno, which 'immediately joins ranks with the very best available in English' (Dr Richard Lansing), Peter Thornton brings the poetry of Petrarch to the 21st Century in direct and luminous verse.
Here's a madrigal, number 52 in the sequence.
52
However much Diana may have pleasedthe lover who by like chance spied her bareamid the frigid water, I no less
delighted in the shy hill shepherdesswashing a wisp of veil to keep her hair,glinting with gold, protected from the breeze.
And even now, when the sky burns above,she makes me shiver with a chill of love.

Progress - Is a Precious Stone

Mike Blake

Progress : Is a Precious Stone. 
Something the world seeks, just as much as Gold, or precious gems. 
With progress, there's no going backwards only forwards, but you can look back at the progress you've made. 
This is a short, no nonsense poem that gets to the heart of what it wants to say, and points the way :)  
It leads to the future, from the depths of the past.
