A book of poems from an amature author

Some messages are never sent. Some feelings are never spoken. Some people leave long before they say goodbye. Deleted Before Sending is a poetry collection about quiet love, loud heartbreak, empty notifications, old conversations, and the courage to heal. Told across five chapters, these poems explore the journey from first feelings to final acceptance, reminding us that sometimes the hardest message to send is the truth we owe ourselves. For anyone who has ever waited too long, loved too quietly, or left a message unsent, this book is for you.

Richard Kors: The Journals Volume 1 is a collection of raw, unfiltered reflections written across three seasons of growth. These poems explore identity, regret, longing, self-confrontation, and the quiet work of becoming someone better. Together, they form an honest record of a man learning to face himself without looking away.

Dear Readers, The poem you are about to read, A Duty To Speak, is incredibly close to my heart because it is born entirely from a true experience. One evening, after finishing my shift at Barter Books-the lovely café nestled inside the old converted Victorian railway station-I stepped out to catch my usual bus home. What should have been a routine journey turned into an evening I will never forget. While waiting at the station, I witnessed a vulnerable young schoolboy being subjected to deeply uncomfortable and inappropriate behavior by a heavily intoxicated woman. What shocked and distressed me just as much as her actions was the reaction of those around us-the bystanders who chose to look away, and even those who laughed. I knew I couldn't just stand by. Thanks to a brilliant, furious bus driver who understood the gravity of the situation, we managed to intervene and get the boy to safety. I wrote this poem to process that night, but more importantly, to give a voice to that quiet schoolboy and to highlight a vital truth: we all have a responsibility to look out for one another. I hope it resonates with you and serves as a gentle reminder of why we must never choose silence when someone is in need of help. Thank you, as always, for reading. Warmest wishes, Gemma

A poem about a destructive relative I wish I could connect to.

Welcome to a realm where words weave magic and emotions dance in rhythm. In this space, I will be sharing an array of my poetry, each piece a window into the soul's myriad hues. From the delicate whispers of love and longing to the powerful echoes of introspection and discovery, my poems traverse a landscape rich in emotion and imagery.

This is a sanctuary for thoughts unspoken, dreams unfurled, and the timeless beauty of poetic expression.

The poem "(un)remembered" explores themes of memory, identity, and the passage of time. It uses vivid imagery and metaphor to convey a sense of fading and transformation. The poet describes the walls breathing softly, symbolizing a living, changing environment. The speaker feels themselves becoming less visible and more transparent, with memories fraying and silence growing between heartbeats. The body is depicted as a landscape of vanishing landmarks, with each breath representing a small act of defiance against the inevitable erasure.

(@.@)/ - hello, i am an international speaker, greetings. this that you are about to read is a collection of poetical experiments born out of the mind of (name of the artist). # - nowadays is very hard to test new grounds. the poet is trying his best in conveying thoughts and emotion while simultaneously interacting with certain characters that will be present during the journey. [...] - this symbolises a break. it means the author has taken away his mind from the work, and maybe he's just simply thinking about something else or doing something (like smoking cigarettes). since there will be poetries written in italian, i'd like to share a word also with them: queste a cui state accedendo sono riflessioni sull'essere ed altri esperimenti che prendono in considerazione e come meta l'esistere su un piano di coscienza differente rispetto al normale stato di "euforia" mentale. l'interazione con personaggi esterni permette all'autore di direzionare la sua linea di pensiero, ottenendo in tal modo una sorta di percorso speculativo sulla possibile esistenza di esseri superiori alla mente pensante, ("=.=) - ma, hei. non perdiamoci in chiacchiere. dovremmo aiutare il povero stolto a ricucirsi almeno una fetta di paradiso. oppure semplicemente lasciarmi soffocare dal senso di indifferenza di chi ha pianto tutte le lacrime. casa mia, la funebre tempesta di grovigli.

Collection of Poems

A poem describing my thoughts about how werewolves and other monsters of old lore would be treated like the misfits, minorities, and "unwell" of today.

I translated some of my poems, which were, in the beginning, written in Greek in English. I hope you like them!

Stability is not softness. It is the quiet tension between what breaks... and what refuses to. In this haunting poetry collection by Uddaniels, beauty and brutality coexist-feathered innocence lies beside something ancient, watching. These poems unravel the fragile threads of identity, fear, transformation, and survival, where even the most delicate forms carry teeth beneath their skin. From dark surreal imagery to raw emotional landscapes, Stability explores what it means to remain whole in a world that constantly reshapes you. Not all monsters are loud. Not all innocence is pure. And not everything meant to break... does.

SPARKLE is an ever growing collection of poems that I've written. These works feature varying themes and styles-and perhaps, within them, you'll find a little light of your own. Enjoy!
