Orange Cosmos: art and poetry-each poem within the collection serves as a reflection of profound introspection and emotional depth. Within these verses, I wanted to encapsulate the sentiments of sadness and melancholy that have pervaded my recent experiences. These poems are like echoes of my thoughts and longing. They explore love that's been lost, dreams that have withered away, and the crushing weight of loneliness. It's like staring into a mirror and seeing all the broken pieces staring back at you. A lot of these poems were scratched and deleted, going back and forth with ideas and wanting to say and not saying many things. A rambling of thoughts, a jargon of scattered ideas-these are my orange cosmos.

The inspiration for this collection arose from an encounter with an orange cosmos flower some time ago. While its beauty was undeniable, there lingered an unmistakable bittersweet quality, akin to a yearning for unattainable desires. This sentiment resonates with my own feelings of longing and aspiration, often characterized by a sense of reaching for the intangible.

The poems delve into themes of lost love, faded dreams, and the profound solitude of loneliness. Each verse acts as a mirror reflecting the fractured pieces of the self, compelling contemplation of the complexities inherent in the human condition.

Many verses underwent iterations, with ideas evolving and sentiments oscillating. The resulting collection is a mosaic of fragmented thoughts and scattered ideas, symbolizing the essence of the orange cosmos-a convergence of beauty and longing.
