Book Cover & Preview Text
The Mist of the Morning I am dark. I am warm. The heat rises from me like a mist in the night. Not only am the night of desire, I am the knight of your dreams. I am ethereal in nature, yet I provide not only warmth for your palette, but sustenance for you soul. I heat you when your insides need warmth, I begin on your lips, and work my way inside your person, until I settle into the cerebellum of your oral pleasure center. I am the morning, I am the night, I am the float of your dreams, when I am all you possess. I am energy, I am friend, I allow you to hold me with either hand, often I am your only. I am wistfulness, I am thought, your yesterday’s circle within my cup, your tomorrows rise from me through the heat of my Java. Take me in, allow me to become part of your today, allow me to nourish you from the inside out, for if not for me, your mornings would remain empty, your nights vacuous of glow.

About the Book
This book personifies the journey of the author in the Kahil Gibran type of literary style, given that both writers hail from the Cedar lined trees of Lebanon. Although the great Gibran has no equal, his heartfelt flair, and emotional rhymes are echoed in the first work of this colorful author. A summary of love later in life, motivated by his first foray into love from a Lebanese woman, his wife Diala, ignited his passion and imagination, finishing a life’s work that had been sixty years in the making, in the first four months after they met. Although a majority of the book was created with letters sent to his wife Diala, included in the book are letters and thoughts he accumulated during his journey of life. Heartbreak and betrayal, emotions and experiences we have all met, are chronicled and described in thought provoking detail, capped with a descriptive flair.
