Download or read book Kisses Not Done Yet written by Mamun Ashraphi and published by Clever Fox Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most coveted yet painfully suppressed theme in contemporary Bengali poetry is the beauty of the body and sex that wakes in the depths of male-female love. Only a little portion of that beauty has been revealed by a few brave poets who have attempted to illuminate that darkness from its depths in their lyrics. The rest is still difficult to find. The beauty of men and women's bodies and works is found in the most profound sense and perception of poetry as well as in the thoughts and consciousness of human life. Extensive excavations are necessary to find diamonds, and so is this beauty found in the thoughts and consciousness of human life and in the body and work of men and women. This beauty is the chief subject of life and thought; to neglect it in poetry without searching as widely as the search for diamonds is to neglect the most fundamental thing in life, which keeps the poem incomplete and stilted. In his introspective poems, poet Mamun Ashraphi attempted to break poetry free from this protracted period of immobility after spending more than thirty years delving deeply into thought and research. By plunging into the vast ocean of love and lust he pulled a gem out of hidden beauty from its depths. In the final stages of life, some of his poems depict the idea of dying. Death is the pure truth and desired thing of life. By savoring the endless juice of the poems produced in this book on an ancient subject, I hope the reader would gain nourishment for fresh ideas and reconsider the significance of presenting this subject in fresh ways in contemporary Bengali poetry.

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dangerous Secrets, Powerful Magic, and Insatiable Desire. The first three paranormal romance/urban fantasy books in the Kiss Chronicles: Lost Secret, Dark Secret, and Stolen Secret. My dying sister vanished in the middle of the night. Usually, Megan called to me before dawn, but sunshine pooled on the bare wood floor beneath the window when I woke. My heart leapt into my throat. She’s dead. After months of fighting, Megan finally...I hadn’t felt it though. Wouldn’t I know if the only person I ever loved— I stumbled out of bed, tangling in my blankets, then raced to her room. Empty. The sheets were folded aside. She must be close. I moved down the hall toward our shared bathroom. The door stood open, but Megan wasn’t there. Backtracking, I checked the living room with its slouchy couches, and the kitchen with its worn countertops. No Megan. I pushed through the French doors out onto our balcony. The music district of Crescent City, a night owl’s paradise, lay still in the soft morning light. Megan’s flowers overflowed their boxes, spilling riotous colors down the wrought iron rail. I stood alone, a gentle breeze lifted a lock of my hair, and tears stung my eyes. Megan was gone. The police assumed she left of her own free will—there was no evidence of a break-in or struggle. "Maybe she was done fighting and couldn't tell you," the detective said, his brown eyes sympathetic. "You didn't know her, she would never give up." "Often when people go missing, the loved ones they leave behind come to realize," he paused and took a breath, "that they didn't know them as well as they thought. Everyone has secrets, Darling," his voice drawled over my name. "Megan could barely walk," I ground out. "Somebody must have taken her." "But who would kidnap a dying young woman? How did they leave no evidence? Why didn't you hear them?" He asked. I didn't have any answers. It didn’t make sense. Nothing did anymore. Strange, exhilarating dreams began haunting my nights. A new hunger, an unquenchable thirst that felt almost…dangerous...ruled my days. Scared and alone, I couldn’t imagine the dark secrets my hunger hid. They’d been lost for so long—locked away, buried by time, and twisted by whispered lies—but when Megan was stolen everything began to unravel… Before it did, before I saw the dead rise, witnessed vampires feed, or visited the warlocks’ library, before I held a life at the edge of my lips, I was just Darling Price—a musician like so many others in this vibrant city. I struggled to pay bills, practiced with my band, and grieved for my missing sister. I was innocent and naive. I’d barely even been kissed. Beware: This series is for adults who enjoy steamy paranormal romance with strong urban fantasy vibes and don’t mind a few f-bombs.
