I wrote most of these poems after 10 p.m. when I was feeling either sad, nostalgic, or lonely. It started as just a way to put words to feelings, but it has become so much more than that. I hope you can resonate with some of these poems, like I do, and that these words are there for you when you need them most :)

Nysa lives in a world that is far too loud, even when it's silent. Her mind is a relentless machine of observation and empathy, dissecting the subtle shifts in a stranger's expression or the unspoken weight in a room until she is left exhausted by the data of human emotion. Rational to a fault, she understands the mechanics of her alienation, but logic provides little comfort for the isolation it creates. The only reprieve she finds is in the recurring architecture of her dreams. There, a man whose face feels like a forgotten melody offers her the one thing she cannot find in her waking life: a stillness that requires no explanation. He is her anchor in a sea of subconscious noise, a ghost she has come to love more than the living. Pushed to the brink by the sensory overload of her daily life, Nysa orchestrates a solo escape to heaven on earth. She seeks a void-a place where her mind can finally stop translating the world. But the solitude is short-lived. There she comes face-to-face with the impossible. Standing in front of her is the man from her dreams. He isn't a figment of her imagination or a symptom of her fatigue. He is real, he is flesh and blood, and for the first time in her life, Nysa's rational mind has no explanation for the truth standing right in front of her.

No one knows the depths of her past, and she intends to keep it that way. Now the questions are.. What draws Eklavya to the brothel despite his moral objections? What does it mean for Eklavya to fall for someone from such a different world? What does love mean for two people who have lived through immense trauma? Is love between Eklavya and Ruhani even possible, or is it an illusion, a temporary escape from their pain? Dive in this heart wrenching yet heartwarming tale to know!

Here is a short, compelling description for your book, "Magnolia & Mirage": A poignant and soulful debut, Magnolia & Mirage follows Sera Jones, a 24-year-old social worker in Mississippi whose life is perfect on paper-until a cold breakup shatters her carefully constructed world. Reeling from the loss of a relationship that continually tested her boundaries and self-worth, Sera must confront the painful legacy of love she inherited: a pattern of sacrifice and emotional absence. In her most vulnerable moments, the raw, twelve-year-old version of herself-L'il Sera-emerges, challenging the adult who learned to mistake endurance for devotion. As she navigates the thin line between resentment and liberation, Sera embarks on a profound journey to reclaim her heart. She must learn to be gentle with herself, setting boundaries against the outside world and, more importantly, against her own crippling self-criticism. Magnolia & Mirage is a powerful testament to the necessity of self-love, and the courageous discovery that the truest connection begins when we stop searching for a light holder and decide to hold the flashlight ourselves.

Pandora has always been alive. Connected. Balanced. Until something from the void falls into its seas. When a fragment of an ancient alien symbiote crashes onto Pandora, it should have become a parasite-or a weapon. Instead, it finds Kiri, the miracle child of Eywa, and bonds in a way neither world was meant to understand. Born of darkness yet shaped by light, Veyn is not a monster... she is a child. Curious, feral, protective-and dangerously powerful. As her bond with Kiri deepens, the lines between symbiosis and possession blur, drawing the attention of the RDA, Recombinant Quaritch, and something far worse lurking beyond the stars. With Eywa's balance at stake and an ancient god of the void whispering through the hive, the Sully family must decide: is Veyn a threat to Pandora-or its future? A crossover epic blending Avatar: The Way of Water and Marvel's Symbiote lore, this story explores found family, identity, motherhood, and what it truly means to bond-across worlds, species, and darkness itself.

Some people choose their houses. But this house chooses them. In 1946, newlyweds Lillian and Pete escape post-war New York and stumble into Brightford--a quiet New Hampshire town, where a local glass artist and a mysterious, half-forgotten house seem to call to them. As they rebuild the home at 33 Willow Bend Road, something awakens inside its walls: a steady, living magic that listens, understands, and gives people what they need... even when they don't know how to ask. In 2025, Mara is freshly broken up, emotionally guarded, and perfectly content living a small, controlled life with her dog, Tucker. That is until a drive north pulls her back toward her childhood road and toward the same yellow house. When the porch light flickers to life only for her, Mara realizes the house hasn't been abandoned at all. It's been waiting. A dual-timeline story of love, healing, found family, and a haunted kind of hope, where a house-and the light that crowns it-holds magic that doesn't shout, but whispers. A house that holds the power to change the lives of everyone who enters.

Cheyenne "Chey" Adler has spent the last few years chasing city life, camera in hand, trying to capture a version of herself she wasn't sure existed. But the city, with all its noise and deadlines, left her feeling scattered, disconnected, and a little too exhausted to recognize who she really was. After taking a sudden break from her high-pressure photography job, Chey returns to her small hometown - the streets, shops, and faces that shaped her quirks and her laughter. She's determined to rediscover the messy, whimsical, and unapologetically geeky version of herself she left behind. The town greets her with familiar warmth and unexpected magic: a bookstore that seems to wink at her, a bakery that smells like home and adventure, and corners of the forest where the light seems just a little brighter. And then there's Marlo Martinez - her childhood friend, once an oddball, now effortlessly magnetic - whose presence awakens memories, sparks, and feelings she didn't know she still had. Between stolen smiles, playful teasing, lingering touches, and quiet moments in coffee-scented kitchens, Chey starts to realize that reconnecting with her past may be the key to understanding her future. In a place where magic lingers in the mundane, where old friends become anchors, and where laughter heals, Chey learns that coming home isn't just about nostalgia - it's about rediscovering herself, embracing the sparks of romance, and noticing the small charms the world has quietly left behind.

Kae doesn't believe in Valentine's Day, easy love, or healing that comes without scars. She believes in songs that hurt to write, friends who stay when things get ugly, and surviving long enough to feel almost okay. As the lead singer of Luminara, Kae is finally being heard-but being seen means old ghosts come back louder. When two very different boys enter her life, everything gets complicated. One is chaos and laughter. The other is quiet and grounding. And neither fits the love she's supposed to want-or the life she's expected to choose. This is a story about found family, unfinished healing, and learning that you don't need to have all the answers to keep going. Sometimes, almost okay is enough.
