Tides of Life

From a wedding poem to expressions of passion, intimacy and eroticism, Tides of Life is a roller coaster of emotions, a study of love desired, lost and regained. Tashika speaks about the unspeakable, exploring taboo themes, unfaithfulness and deceit, written from the perspective of both the deceiver and the deceived. Each poem draws you into conflicts, questions and dilemmas, but giving a breather from the serious and complex, there are poems which simply play with words or have a twist of humour. Originally written as personal communications, this substantial collection now provides an opportunity for others to reflect on their own relationships, to express a sentiment towards someone else, to read aloud, or simply to enjoy for the sake of appreciating a fresh look at experiences that are timeless and universal.
