What is it that I seek in the still of the night, When the stars whisper truths and the dark swallows light?

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

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.

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

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 💞💞💞

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.

Never knew!
