This is the continuation of my first book labeled, Dark Poetry. They are independent books and can be read alone, each chapter is a different poem and can be read alone from the collection. With that said, please don't steal my works, they are original works that took time and effort to create. Now with that said, this book is full of darkness and it was written at dark points in my life. I don't pretend to hide what I've gone through, and I won't lie about it. With that said some things in this book are fictional and may or may not be pointed out as such. Enjoy...

slow dancing love and pain in the midnight chorus of liquor-washed autumn green ... || a constellation of destructive poetry ||

Ethereal Expressions are dewdrops in the chaos of consciousness. Sprinkled with words, they are a peek and dive into the realm of self and shells. My poems have no titles due to the diversity in perception and understanding. I'd love my readers to have their own take on my poems.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we are asking all of you to send in love related poems. There are no restrictions for this contest. Good luck to everyone!
