Something Like Poetry – A Story of a Damaged Writer

I see a pile of the wreckage of a human.

But I can still visualize the statue of beauty you used to be;

Still, among all the ashes, the tears, the damaged parts,

And the cold touch of your buried pain.

After all, it was I who demolished you,

And it was the sound of your crumbling that awakened me.

Ahang Ashti A. has always been fascinated by language, specifically metaphors, and how they can profoundly impact and shape the human experience and depict a single emotion in infinite streams of expression. Such drastically different writers have influenced him – Gibran, Rumi, and Bukowski – and moulding those three influences to create a unique writing style has been his ultimate goal in his literary approach.
