Caught in the Rain is a collection of poems that explore politics, mental health and family life.

Motherhood is wonderful and terrifying and exhausting and joyful. There are a million things a mother wishes she could do over - things she could have said, ways she could have reacted, faces she wouldn't have made - but the complete journey is one she would never want to miss out on. This is a story of a mother, told through haiku, who wouldn't have it any other way.

Just many of the things I have went through emotionally (mostly) & physically since I was age 14 til now being 23. It's all mixed up and out of order. Things that pour straight from my mind, heart, & soul.. Being brutally honest. The loving & leaving. Heartaches. Feelings of suicide. Mistakes. Addictions. My wonderful children. My brothers. Parents. The good, the bad. & Happiness... and if you read enough, you will know true happiness has been rare for me.

this is a semi-eclectic, well-intentioned, highly-motivated attempt at describing things.

"""अक्स" मतलब प्रतिबिम्ब यह क़िताब सही मायने में मेरी परछाई है वैसे मेरे लिखे हुई कविता समाचार पत्रों, पत्रिकओं इत्यादि में प्रकाशित हुई है पर उन कविताओं को पुस्तक द्वारा लोगों के सामने लाना एक तरह से सपना ही था जो पूरा हो रहा है हर किसी को सपने देखने चाहिए और जरूर देखने चाहिए क्योंकि अगर आपका प्रयास और मेहनत में सच्ची कोशिश है तो वो सपने पुरे होते है इस क़िताब में बहुत सी कविताएँ है और हर कविता दुसरे से भिन्न है इसमें सामजिक, राजनितिक, धार्मिक, कॉर्पोरेट सभी विषयों को अलग अलग तरह से छूने की कोशिश की है मैंने अधिकतर कविताएँ बहुत ही सरल और बोलने वाली भाषा में लिखी है किताब में हिंदी और उर्दू दोनों भाषाओं का प्रयोग किया है मुझे यह तो पता नहीं है की मेरी लिखी हुई कविताएँ उम्दा है की नहीं पर हर कविता को मैंने एक दुसरे से भिन्न लिखने की कोशिश की है जहाँ """"खुशियों की लाश """" में मैंने बुजुर्गों की हताशा और अकेलापन प्रस्तुत करने का प्रयास किया है वही """"लौट के आओ """" में आधुनिक भारत में जहाँ गाँव से शहर की और लोगों का पलायन हो रहा है इसी तरह दंगो पर,धर्म पर, प्यार, बेवफाई जैसे अनेक पहलू को छूने की कोशिश की है वैसे तो सारी की सारी कविताएं मेरी पसंदीदा पर """"वो बचपन बहुत प्यारा था"""" मेरे दिल के बहुत करीब है कविता में मैंने कॉर्पोरेट क्षेत्र में काम करने वाले सारे लोगों का दर्द बताने की कोशिश की है इसमें मैंने बहुत सारे अंग्रेजी शब्दों का भरपूर उपयोग किया है जिससे यह बहुत ही आधुनिक बन गयी है इस कविता पर मैंने कुछ दिनों पहले इंस्टाग्राम पर रील बनायीं थी जो काफी लोकप्रिय रही और काफी लोगों ने इसे भरपूर प्यार दिया यह कहिये की लोगों ने काफी लाईक और शेयर किया वैसे डिजिटल युग में किताबों का चलन कम होता चला है पर मैं मानता हूँ की अच्छा साहि

It hurts to remember its easier to forget. Detangling from the scar tissue matted under our skin Is messy. It bloodies and it maims. We all have shadows hiding from our sight. Demons without a name that refuse the light. It's a journey seldom tread. There is peace in acceptance and healing in learning to love our shadow as much as the light.

Life is like ice cream, enjoy before it melts. This is my favourite quote. This book is my first book and the first step in the publishing world. Through this book, I am sure you find yourself at the end. Because I do believe that after all the battles the only thing matters is you. I don't want you feel bore by the long paragraphs, just open this and start reading out loud and feel confident at the end.

इस पुस्तक में मैंने अपने अभी तक के उन उद्गारों का चयन किया है जो मेरे मन के सबसे क़रीब हैं। ये कविताएँ स्वयं के साथ मेरे वार्तालाप का परिणाम हैं। जब भी मैं किसी भावनात्मक ऊहापोह में रहा मेरी भावनाएँ या तो गीत या कविताओं के रूप में परिलक्षित हुईं। इन कविताओं के ज़रिए पाठक को मेरे मन और जीवन की एक छोटी सी झलक मिले ऐसी मेरी कामना है। मेरी आशा है कि मेरी कविताओं में पाठक अपना प्रतिबिम्ब देख पाएँगे और अपना आत्मसंबंध और भी प्रगाढ़ कर पाएँगे।

""""""The Drunken Psalms"""" is an exploration into the queries of faith, life, death, and love. Much as the psalms of the Bible are sacred poems and songs that speak to the nature of God, my poems are feelings, thoughts, and experiences that speak to the nature of my own drunken, slurring spiritual experience- as incredibly broken and unconventional as it is. Human nature is to question, doubt, and explore our own spirituality; I seek to encourage this exploration. This collection holds all the bible belt nostalgia of a fiery, red-brick Southern Baptist Church in late July, while also bringing light to the Church's indiscretions against women, children, people of color, and queer people. These poems were found in the spine of my Bible, engraved into my skin, on the lips of lovers, in nature, in folk songs, and long car rides. They were hidden in the floorboards of my broken homes, the eyes of an addict, and the ceiling of hospital rooms I have stared at. I hope you find the peace in these poems that I have been chasing. - s. Hauff""

""Over 21 days, I endeavoured to write 21 poems. Ostensibly giving myself some guiding principle, some method, and structure, each day I drew and reflected upon a Tarot card from the traditional Marseilles deck. Focussing on the images on the cards, I wrote out of the images, symbols and titles, often finding myself in unforeseen territories. Formatively, the idea was to give a structural and thematic aid from which to work, yet as the writing continued, I realised that the language that was being generated between myself and the images became less and less anchored in the chosen card; instead the concepts and words became ripped and exposed, a cacophony of syllables that, in truth, belies both the excitement and fear I feel in the face of an infinitely fascinating and infuriating universe. I am fascinated with the structures and the categories we use every day. I am fascinated by how we develop these structures and categories to help diffuse our understandable terror. Rather than seeing and accepting the vast space interrupted by the distant-dim light of a billion blinding stars; you saw a man hunting, and called him a god. I tried to write how I am; confused and enthralled and bursting with feeling everything all at once, all the time. Perhaps this is schizopoetics.""

""""""Modern day society has made it the norm to point out each others flaws; from social media to more brazen face-to-face confrontations, it seems like everyone is more than comfortable in letting a person know what makes them insufficient. The criticisms are no more intense than those from inside: a person can attempt to emulate the norms of the time with varying levels of success, but rarely feel comfortable in who their own skin. Often pitting themselves against a seemingly unattainable standard, most people burn out and loose their identity before ever reaching that zeitgeist/mountain top/ golden ticket where happiness is meant to lie. This book in not polished. This book is not going to change the world. This book is not a feel good novel. This book is not a suitable alternative to therapy. This book is not written by a 16th century bard. This book is not made up of poems by someone who knows where they're going in life. This book is not a map to some epic secret revelation. This book contains the misguided ramblings of someone trying hard to look past all of the things they know they aren't, all the things they can't do as well as everyone else and get some sense of being. Will it be a success? Who knows? I mean, this is not Shakespeare after all. """"""

A book of Poetry and Ghazals

""Studies show that a full night's sleep has multiple benefits to the mind and body. Personally, I love having a set schedule in order to make it easy to have an 8-9-hour sleep per night. This sedentary state is a perfect reset and is a natural remedy to many ailments. What if we aren't sleeping? Why aren't we sleeping? What do we do to fall back asleep, or to stay awake (if that's what we want)? What do we think This is my collection of pieces inspired by specifically thoughts raised past my bedtime. ""
