A book of contemporary poems written about different things within life.

A missed turn. A quiet conversation. An ordinary moment that refuses to stay ordinary. Crossways is a growing collection of flash fiction where familiar situations take unexpected paths. Some stories lean toward mystery, others toward speculative fiction or quiet reflection, but each explores the moment when a single choice, coincidence, or revelation changes everything. Each story stands alone and can be read in just a few minutes, with every tale under 1,500 words. New stories will be added as they are written. ~Simultaneously published on PoetrySoup and Royal Road.

𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸, 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓮𝓵𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓻𝓭'𝓼 𝓑𝓵𝓸𝓬𝓴! Vivid Anthologies is the second poetry collection that captures the feelings I never dare to say to the people who made me feel things. So if you're looking to take a break from long novels or feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, I hope my words can offer you comfort, connection, and perhaps guidance. Through these poems, I've tried to capture the intensity of feeling that often slips through language: moments that haunt, memories that linger, and emotions that demand to be expressed. This collection is here to remind you that you're not alone in the depths of what you feel.

"Clear Windows" is a reflective poem that uses the tragic imagery of a bird striking an unseen window to explore themes of mortality, abrupt endings, and human self-examination. Through a raw and empathetic lens, the poet witnesses a creature full of life and purpose suddenly halted by an invisible barrier, ultimately prompting a profound contemplation on our own fragility and calling.

Words hold power over our minds. Without them we would never understand each other to the extent that we do. Use them to spread poetic truth and bite your tongue if fear is your intent.

A lonely pine tree sits deep in the foliage of a dense forest, silent, pained and lustful for a connection that will never surface. Through years of silence and quiet pain, a light emerges from the tree line, two kids. Elio and Sadetta, the tree would come to learn as their names, watching them grow from giggly children to thoughtful adults, a one sided connection and bond rests easily between them, dusted only once every few years- ending in heartbreak and devastation. In this short story, you will turn trees with a new perspective, -seeing them in the new light that the world painted them in- and experience sympathy for a seemingly still and unalived object.

This is composed of written thoughts and feelings that are buried in our minds. It comprises various components that could able to bring up.

Sup everyone, These are just a jumbled up mess of my thoughts, what I think about life and my own life morals. I hope that writing these things down, at least a few people will find it and be consoled when they get to the same stage of life as me. When we are trying to find out who we are, we end up doubting ourselves. I do not say that my views are correct, for we are constantly evolving. Be critic of them, and let me know what you guys think instead!

A hyper-intelligent race known as the Endall sees themselves as the superior race and they will die defending that title.

Mosh is a seemingly normal giant that is nothing but a pawn in the human military's eyes but he is much more than he realizes. Mosh is just living his life and sees himself as an unfortunate bystander in a global crisis. But he's being watched by more than just the eyes of the unknown.
