Fifty Drops of Rain on a Paper Heart is a soulful exploration of human emotions told through poetic fragments, letters, and meditative verses. The book unfolds like a slow rain—never hurried, never loud—allowing each “drop” to touch a different corner of the heart: love that arrives gently, loss that soaks deep, silence that lingers, and healing that comes unnoticed.

The “paper heart” at the center of the book symbolizes vulnerability—easily creased, easily marked, yet astonishingly resilient. Through fifty reflective pieces, the author captures the fragile beauty of feeling deeply in a world that often demands emotional armor. These poems speak of longing, separation, waiting, memory, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to keep believing in love after heartbreak.

Written in simple yet evocative language, the collection invites readers to pause, breathe, and recognize their own unspoken emotions within its lines. This is not a book to be rushed—it is meant to be opened on quiet nights, read in fragments, and returned to when the heart needs gentle company.

Fifty Drops of Rain on a Paper Heart is for anyone who has loved sincerely, lost silently, and learned that even a fragile heart can survive the heaviest rain.
