Bestselling poet Bridgett Devoue shares insight and advice into the powerful world of unrequited love and abuse. Soft Thorns Vol. II is a continuation of the deep and emotional journey author Bridgett Devoue started with her debut poetry collection Soft Thorns. Similar to her first book, Devoue's lyrical and comforting writing is perfectly complemented by gorgeous illustrations. Focusing on themes of online bullying, abusive relationships, and unrequited love, Devoue's topics resonate. As she explores and elaborates on these issues over eight chapters of poems, the reader will discover all the knowledge and power to be gained from facing hardships head on. Soft Thorns Vol. II is for those who are struggling to reckon with their past, apprehensive of what is to come, and a little nervous about everything in between.

Soft thorns won ' t hurt us . Inside the vase , encircling the rim , the twelve bow
their heads grotesquely downward . Red - shaded lamps illuminate the end table
but the soft - petaled centers have no eyes . The twelve are not sleeping .

...Elation of my esseence deep within, Wisps between the soft walls of the petal rose Reaches a part that's separate from myself Together and I feel the sweet pain culmination Between my thighs, so deep within that is's still Stopped in the summer mist an orgasm is what I feel., And I watch you touch that little petal so wet with roots so deep That takes the pain and makes it so sweet...When I touch it, I'm amazed at those small hands...Grasping a measure of affections Wondering among the petals without directions Life's culmination rest upon me I awoke from its vigorous dreams Sliding blindly down her beam Sweet sap I tasted in between. Bitter, sweet, and gentle embrace Enticed by love and this bonding fate Fingers entangled together to which this affection we hold Enchanted Spirits in the rings of gold When the children cry and all is well die Fondle a Rose. Rubbing the glass shower doors covered with steam, And your tongue touching my finger tips, The small of your back dips into a firm soft of skin...

Traditional Kurdish Food is perhaps the most comprehensive collection of Kurdish culinary heritage available in book form in English. Here you will find unique insights into the diverse cuisine and culinary customs of regional Kurdistan that have never been presented in this way. This book reveals to the world new tasty and resourceful recipes from this ancient land. It is the key that unlocks a secret door behind which lies the origins of so many dishes that we love and take for granted today. Fresh ingredients and liberal use of spices and herbs are intrinsic to these recipes. Some of the recipe names may seem familiar - kabab, paqlawa- albeit delivered with a distinctly Kurdish flavour; others will be delightfully new. Each recipe is illustrated with a mouth-watering colour photograph.
