Produktbeschreibung

Where Flames Dance with Fragility: A Soul's Journey Through Sacred Scars

In this existential poetry collection that pulses with raw vulnerability and divine fire, Ali Ashraf crafts a modern mystic masterpiece for seekers of truth in darkness. The Burning Bush is not merely a book-it's an immersive experience of spiritual poetry that intertwines searing verse with intimate prose reflections, guiding readers through the labyrinth of human emotion where loneliness, madness, and ecstasy collide like stars in a midnight sky.

Each poem is a sacred wound laid bare-from the shattering ache of unrequited love to the delirious heights of spiritual awakening. Like Rumi meets Nietzsche in the 21st century, these verses oscillate between devotional yearning and brutal existentialism, offering no easy answers but instead-like the burning bush itself-a presence that illuminates without consuming. The companion prose reflections serve as whispered meditations on each poem's themes, transforming the reading into a contemplative ritual.

Why This Poetry Collection Will Captivate Your Soul:

• For the Broken & Beautiful: Poems about madness like "GOD IS DEAD" and sacrificial love poetry like "pull the trigger" give voice to the unspeakable edges of human experience.
• For Spiritual Wanderers: The mystic poetry prose passages reframe pain as a portal-echoing the existential poetry of Kahlil Gibran with a razor's modern edge.
• For Lovers of Lyrical Darkness: Visceral imagery-"pearls fall from my eyes," "life-consuming blackhole"-burns into memory like tattoo ink on the psyche.

Perfect for devotees of:

• The raw feminine power of Rupi Kaur
• The queer spiritual grit of Ocean Vuong
• The philosophical pyre of Nietzsche

From Inside the Book:

burning angels

have you ever seen a burning rose? have you ever seen perfect flaws? have you ever walked in the sky?have you ever seen a fish fly? have you ever kissed a heart in pain?have you ever lost without a gain?

fall in love and you will see angels burning and demons free

Love makes everything topsy-turvy. Sometimes it breaks your back, and other times it gives you wings to fly. Love is the most ecstatic and most haunting feeling at once. It is indeed one of God's secrets and a path that leads to God if you purify your heart.
