Book excerpt: "In desperate need of your soft sweet hands, By dead moonlight burning your mysterious eyes, I cry a soft whisper of yearning,To be close to your enchanted visage. I breathe the air of melancholy,In the dark rooms of trapped love, As you fade away from your sensual mouth, Like death smiling from the roots of hell. I can only see the slight crevasses on your dark turquoise eyes, Spreading to infinity by the swiftness of time, Even faster than the black tears dropping from my soul, Even faster than the black veins poisoning my heart. They are like pearls, like precious jewellery, Their expensive colours taste like acid in my mouth, Its pleasure enclaved with cold obscurity. ...I took a black card from a broken table, The slight lines of tears circling its wooden artistry, Like small pilgrims walking through the lands Of pure heaven and troubled hell."

Book excerpt: “The Black Rose” is the story of a young, multi-talented and feisty Iranian woman who decided to steer a different path from the orthodox and blinkered path of her society at the age of 19 and pursued her American Dream wholeheartedly without fail. Life became an agony for her in the Middle East as a woman, as a human being, as an individual, as a gender minority, as a religious minority, as an activist-to-be, as an artist, or just simply as a member of the society. A strong teenage girl with grand dreams who defied the odds and persevered up until the age of 33 as a mature woman for the sake of her lofty ideals. She was starved of her every single right in every sense of the word. She was behind the closed doors to which she did not hold the key. She was totally fenced-in, with her wings clipped, with her voice confined and with her life and future being left at the mercy of the merciless authorities. She was an epitome of an oppressed artist. The content to most of her art pieces were totally against the bigoted norms and laws of the Middle Eastern societies. In particular, her LGBTQI-centric art pieces which would drag her into persecution, imprisonment and death as an immediate fate, and some of her pieces also dealt with societal maladies which were regarded highly contentious in that part of the world. Therefore, she could never publish or share her art pieces. First, she started to resist and defy the wave of ostracism at her country; afterwards, when things bordered on persecution, she fled Iran and signed up with UNHCR in Ankara, Turkey with the hope of freedom. Her case was deemed as a special case, courtesy of the fact that she was an artist, and received expedited treatment. She soon got recognized by UNHCR as a refugee and her case was sent to the resettlement agency to be relocated to a third country. To her dismay, around that time, there had been a newly-appointed prerequisite for the resettlement process; that the cases up for resettlement, should be interviewed by Turkey’s DGMM (Directorate General of Migration Management), or in another words, the government of Turkey. The government of Turkey twisted everything and rejected her case and suspended and blocked her resettlement and lined her up for deportation to Iran. She tried to seek help from everywhere, but no one reached out a hand for her to hold and she was left out on a limb. She fled Iran to seek freedom in the land of opportunity, but got stuck in an even more complex quagmire in Turkey. All her talents, efforts and hopes went down the drain and instead of actualizing her American Dream, she met her untimely demise in the cruelest fashion.

Download or read book Black Rose written by Donna Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2007-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rev. Martin's original plan was to preach through the Gospel of Matthew word by word, verse by verse; and to do so from a new, fresh translation from the original language. Preaching through the Gospel, with all of its references to other books of the Bible, and in its own history, is an ideal way for a preacher to give his people a thorough understanding of the inspired Scripture. It wasn't long before the idea of a huge sermonic commentary came up. And then came the idea of some interim books. This book is the fourth (and maybe the last) in the "interim" series. What will eventually come to pass, Lord willing, is a 3500 page commentary, with a new translation of the text, of the Gospel of Matthew. It will be published in (probably) six volumes. In the meantime this book, Abomination of Desolation, is published as a stand-alone book. The three previous ones are: The Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer, The Sermon On the Mount, and Jesus On Divorce. Abomination of Desolation is a thorough exegesis of chapters twenty-four and twenty-five of the Gospel of Matthew. It explicitly follows the text of what Jesus Christ told His disciples while on the Mount of Olives before His crucifixion.

Martinez had me looking straight down the barrel of his rifle before I could close my truck door and get to the garden gate. I froze just as I was, half-turned. Rosa was screaming my name behind her Papa inside the front door, and I could hear her mother yelling at her and restraining her. "Get off my land, Bobby, or I'll call the police!" Martinez commanded. "It isn't her fault!" I shouted straight down the sidewalk because I had no other choice. "Bobby!" she was screaming. "Papa dont shoot Bobby!" Martinez discharged the rifle where he stood, above my head. That settled it. Raising my hands, I slowly backed into the cab and got in. She screamed until she heard the GMC start up; then, realizing I was still alive, it stopped."
