Sonder ~ 
The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness-an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."      - The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

My Poetry Stash by Izakai_Lord
43 parts Ongoing
Welcome to My Poetry Collection This is no ordinary book. It is a labyrinth of musings, a kaleidoscope of thoughts, and a journey into the untamed wilderness of my mind. Each page holds fragments of life's mysteries, fleeting moments of clarity, and questions without answers-all woven into an uncharted tapestry of words, emotions, and imaginings. Will you dare to wander here? Step lightly, for this is a realm where whimsy dances with introspection, where shadows stretch long, and chaos whispers secrets to those brave enough to listen. What you discover may be fragments of me-or reflections of yourself. Follow the breadcrumbs scattered through this forest of whispers, where moonlight pierces shadows, leaves crunch underfoot, and every path twists with unexpected turns. Perhaps you'll stumble upon the shadow of a forgotten dream, the echo of a question you've long avoided, or the flicker of truth hidden in the randomness of it all. But beware: not all paths lead where you expect, and some truths may demand more courage than you imagined. These pages are not merely words; they are invitations, challenges, and companions for your journey. They are windows into uncharted thoughts and mirrors reflecting the depths of your own soul. The terrain of my mind is unpredictable, the pathways steep, the vistas dizzying-and the journey, unrelenting. So, consider this your invitation to explore. I offer no promises, no certainty, and no solace for the stirrings of your heart or the truths you may uncover. Enter if you will, but tread boldly, keep your wits sharp, and your imagination sharper still. Fortune favors the daring-or so they say. Good luck, traveler.

Highest rank #73 in fantasy #18 in voodoo #79 in Philosophy There are times when everything around fades and the voice of the past starts dominating the times. When the waves are lurching high to touch the sky. When you feel the eerie presence within you. Something which is trying to drift away, something tearing you apart. Into two different versions of yourself. What would you do? Destroy the other? or would try to understand it? Love will always be by your side guiding you, showing you path giving you strength, enlightening you. At each and every step. You are risking everything. More precious than your breath. More dangerous than bloodwars. More familiar than unfamiliar. What's going to happen when you are going deeper into the past? What revelations are going to bring it down? What magic is working? Will love save the day? Only the Midnight can tell. Only the Archer can understand. Will they be together in the end? What's going to be unmapped? Catch the Underworld train to know everything;)
