MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK ON AMAZON UNDER 'MELANCHOLIC MUSE' BY MAY GARNER This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain.

Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

In the shadowy world of organized crime, Hiroshi Tanaka, the arrogant son of mafia don Kazuki Tanaka, believes he can manipulate anyone into becoming his submissive pawn. That is until he encounters Kaya Mensah, a resilient Ghanaian woman with unwavering strength. Kaya, virtuous and unyielding, stands in stark contrast to Hiroshi's dark inclinations. She's a beacon of goodness; he embodies the essence of malevolence. As their paths intersect, Hiroshi finds himself captivated by Kaya's beauty and inner fortitude. Despite Hiroshi's corrupt nature and Kaya's virtuous character, an unexpected connection forms between them. Hiroshi, who scoffs at the notion of a higher power, paradoxically pledges devotion to Kaya as if she were his divine muse. *** Hiroshi gazed into Kaya's eyes, his voice low and fervent. "Kaya, you are my salvation in this twisted world. I've never believed in anything beyond power until I met you." Kaya, intrigued but cautious, asked, "What are you saying, Hiroshi?" "I want to worship you, not as a pawn in my game, but as the one who redeems my soul. I'll kneel before you, give you all the glory, and cherish you forever. You're my angel in this underworld, and I'm ready to welcome you into my heart." Kaya hesitated, caught in the intensity of his confession. "But you're part of the Mafia, Hiroshi." He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Welcome to the Mafia, my love, not as a prisoner, but as the one who makes this darkness bearable. With you, I'll find a different kind of strength, a light within the shadows."
