Nostalgia is a blessing and a curse in one breath. To love and be loved in return - not every lover is fortunate enough to experience it. Ria Kid in her book of verses, The Muse of Manifestations, wants to leave no doubt in the mind of the person she loves that what she felt, what at one point they both may have felt, was real. Her poetry gleams as an ode to her muse, her words the very manifestations of her unrequited emotions and longing. All her efforts to forget has been in vain; so, she would rather remember.
