A book of poems from an amature author

"This language is a world of pure magic. You can save people or crush them." On the other side of these poems is a girl who wants to document her experiences in a way that sounds prettier than they actually are. I write about my life and lately my life is mostly eating disorder and depression, but as soon as that changes so will my poetry. Trigger Warning: eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, self harm mentions, body image Also be warned some poems are just, in general, giant bummers.

Have you ever come across people who tugged at your HEARTSTRINGS and changed your life like magic? HEARTSTRINGS is an anthology of thirty poems dedicated to the people I hold close in my heart. The final part of this poem collection includes a narrative inspired by these amazing people. It also serves as a prologue to a novel that you will first see exclusively on Wattpad.

Highest Rankings; #1 In CONTEMPORARYPOETRY #6 In AESTHETICPOETRY The hope of being loved - truly, equally - is both delicate and defiant. This poem captures the trembling moment before a heart dares to believe it could finally be seen, heard, and loved in return. With every skipped breath and shaking hand, it holds space for the memories that ache to be made real - where longing and love are not just whispered, but claimed. Today, I Hope Is That Day is a tender confession for anyone who's ever stood at the edge of vulnerability, wishing that today would be the day their love is no longer one-sided - but finally answered. Today, I Hope Is That Day is the sequel to Today, I Hope Is Not That Day.

Poems and song lyrics

These poems do not chart healing- only the slow, stubborn act of surviving its absence.

the midnight ramblings of a broken soul love, loss, hurt, and the other shit that cuts deep hopefully someone out there can relate [contemporary poetry]

Between temple bells and train whistles, between the scent of rain and the sound of bangles, between the rivers and the mango orchards - a woman remembers who she is. Saffron Threads is a collection of twenty haikus tracing her journey from silence to selfhood - weaving together Bihar's soil, Hindu faith, and the eternal fire of womanhood. Each verse remembers a prayer. Each breath, a rebellion.

Poem

for the women, and for the girls "He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink." Virginia Woolf

With a blend of raw vulnerability and sharp introspection, Echoes of Perfection captures the fragile dance between hope and despair, illuminating the paths we walk in search of self-acceptance and healing. This collection is a testament to the power of words, inviting readers to confront their own shadows and discover the beauty that lies within imperfection.

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. Join me on a lyrical journey through the heart's deepest corridors, where every verse resonates with a story waiting to be told. This is a sanctuary for thoughts unspoken, dreams unfurled, and the timeless beauty of poetic expression.

This poetry collection is the ones who were told that their love for another was a mistake, an abomination, a sin, or anything else that discredits how they feel about another person. You are enough and there's nothing you need to change about who you love.

"The Constant Ode to Tapestry" invites you into a richly woven world of emotion and shadow, where vulnerability and strength intertwine like threads in a fragile fabric. This poem explores the ache of lost connections, the sting of memory, and the quiet fight to find peace within chaos. Through vivid, haunting imagery and a gothic tone, it speaks to anyone who's ever felt torn between darkness and hope, offering a powerful and moving glimpse into the human heart's complex mosaic.

Exceedingly dull words of extraordinary joy and excruciating pain. A collection that carried me through my depression. 2019 - 2020

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

A poetry book about my unsaid feelings, regrets, euphoria, wishful thinking, unforgettable happy, sappy, and late night thoughts. - Written in English

Peninsula of Untranslatable Feelings - A Poetic Journey Through Cape Town's Emotional Geography 🌊 Where feelings find their landscape and landscapes find their voice 🏔️ In the luminous space between what we feel and what we can name, this poem becomes a cartographer of the heart-mapping untranslatable emotions across Cape Town's breathtaking peninsula. Drawing from John Koenig's Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, each stanza transforms abstract feelings into living geography. What awaits you: - Maru mori discovered in kelp fronds surrendering to False Bay's waves - Apolytus flowering like proteas emerging from fire-blackened earth - The wends tasting bitter-sweet in Kirstenbosch's paradise - Anoscetia floating like fog over Lion's Head's mysteries - Dès vu crystallising at Cape Point where two oceans argue ancient truths This isn't just poetry about place - it's an exploration of how landscape holds our most profound emotional experiences. From the bureaucratic tragedy of baboons crossing ancient routes to the simple heartbreak of ordinary moments, every image pulses with that particular ache of recognising ourselves in the world around us. Perfect for readers who love: ✨ Magical realism that makes the familiar strange 🌿 Environmental poetry with social consciousness 🗺️ Place-based writing that transcends geography 💭 Experimental work exploring the limits of language 🌅 Meditative, introspective verse. Sometimes the most profound truths live in the spaces between words - in feelings so specific they need new names, in places so sacred they reshape our understanding of home. #CapeTown #ContemporaryPoetry #UntranslatableEmotions #SouthAfricanLiterature
