Another one from my book
And the first one I ever sold. As always feel free to be hyper critical. Any and all suggestions help me improve my writing.

I liked it overall. 🙂 The first sentence immediately and fully grabbed my attention. I was less intrigued by the end, but that's mostly a matter of personal taste (e.g. I don't think I'd love your protagonist). I'll also say that a few of the sentences felt a bit clunky and could be rewritten for a smoother read. Sounds like a potentially interesting read!

What is it that I seek?
What is it that I seek in the still of the night, When the stars whisper truths and the dark swallows light? Is it peace that eludes, like a shadow that flees, Or a purpose that hums in the sway of the trees? Do I long for a truth to anchor my soul, A map to the place where I might feel whole? Or... read more

Unyielding Choice
I see the shadow towering high, A force unyielding, a storm in the sky. Its power looms, a crushing tide, And yet, I stand—no place to hide. The odds, they whisper, "Turn away, This is not your fateful day." But the fire within cannot be quenched, My fists are clenched, my jaw is wrenched. For... read more

Sad November
There was a little boy, But a hatchling, a "new bird", In that day there was great joy, A new existence came to the world, And so he was loved and cared for, Nurtured and celebrated, Learned to walk, learned to talk, Even his school days finally made it, Time to grow, Make friends,... read more

Inspired from a quote (paraphrase) "What I thought was a spirit was just dead grass"
I saw your reflection undulating in the abyss it's burnt into my brain as a fractured recollection half-present, yet I knew your face in dry, dead grass from a distance where I am inundatedly convinced it could not have been anything otherwise my knuckles turned white at the gripping of cold,... read more

A Silent fight
I reach for stars but fall through space's darkness. a fleeting dream I can’t embrace. Roots run deep, yet I’m untied, trapped in time, numb inside. Love offered freely fades away, echoes lost in yesterday. Joy slips through like shifting sand, hope a flame I can’t withstand. Moments pass beneath... read more

A memory to bury, a heart to set free Why hold on to what's lost, a love that used to be Forever's just a dream, that's faded with the past Now I'm left to move on, and let love forever last

Baggage
A weight of burden, crushes my soul. Life worn weary, as heart turned cold. I breath a chore, yet, still stand, Torn between living? Or longing in land.

First Post
During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

I only have eyes for the impossible The unattainable Tell me I can’t win the game And I’ll play Tell me I’ll always be set in my ways And I’ll change Tell me I’m caged And I’ll escape Tell me I’m normal I’ll show you insane Tell me I can’t have you And I’ll love you anyway

Poetry!
UNSEEN… I look for you in crowded rooms, a spark of hope, a quiet bloom. But your eyes pass right over mine, as if I’m just a passing sign. I laugh, I linger, I play my part, hiding the ache, the open heart. You’re unaware, so unaware to you, I’m simply nothing there. Yet still I wait, I watch,... read more

Love tropes!
Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

I once wondered why hearts burn with fiery rage Why love can turn to anger, and a soul's dark cage But now I understand, for I've walked that same flame And felt the fury that fuels, the heart's deepest pain

unlike us (why)
why'd you take the world from me? it was warm, and bright, and lovely unlike you, who saw fit that I surely weren't enough for it why'd you take my love away? it was innocent, and kind, and lonely unlike me now, who cries too that it was never enough for you.

Life is made up of choices. We listen to inner and outer voices. Some choices have us spinning. Some have others winning. Despite what we may think is right, how can we know what will bring us light? To live life is to learn. To desire what we feel we earned. To experience a feeling of yearning. As... (edited) read more

Chianti, Cough-Syrup Red:
The deep and bold, incandescent glow pouring from taillights dyes what would be an otherwise boring thread of fate, with a fading blip, into a warm shade of Chianti, cough-syrup red and sticky residue on my lips, with a candy coated taste. A color-coded warning, perhaps, to steady my... read more
