This is not smut and this isn't a love story. This is romance stripped of its clothing with a sexual and intimate retelling which comes with a warning that you might be seduced into having arousing yearnings for fleshy pleasures and possible orgasms. Imagine poetry being sultry, refined and polished to draw out longing. Imagine experiencing words that are mentally caressing, spreading and stroking your desire to lose yourself to the sensations building from down up and...actually, do not imagine. Just go ahead and read Kowati's Diary.

Life is not always a bed of roses, there comes a time when we feel lost and confused, a time when we wonder what our purpose is and we start questioning everything around us and everything that has happened to us. We wonder if truly there's a place for us, If all we're going through is truly worth it. Ace's Journey tries to relate with these feelings, expressing the burdens that weighs us down, detailing both the struggles we go through in life, and also the hope we hold onto that sees us through life. On this journey, we'd experience confusion, despair, anger, hope, love and most importantly fulfillment. So walk with me as we embark on this journey together and hopefully at the end of it all we'd be able to embrace life with all its challenges and see them as opportunities to move forward.

On The Road is a compilation of poems inspired by the unending stories of life which entails both the good and bad and the exciting and depressing aspects of life. *Winner of The Coalition Summer Awards 2019 Poetry category*
