An attempt to create, and explore the crevices untouched.

Be part of my poetry journey, as I attempt to rediscover parts of me, parts of you and an inexplicable bond one shares with words.

Denial & Bliss is a collection of short poems that borders between mildly heart-breaking scenarios and its acceptance of conflicts arising from loneliness. It aims to capture different facets of human despair and evoke neo-noir imagery, and tries to be intentionally unsettling and jarring with its rhyme scheme on certain occasions. 

The collection opens with "Mortal Shell with rust", a poem describing pain due to heartbreak and unfaithfulness and how it kills your spirit. It continues to explore the narrator's wish to be separated with "Explorer", and relive her experiences to understand her feelings with "End", "Muted Wails", and "Infinitely Close". 

The point of view begins to shift from "Scared", where the reason of insecurity & ache stems from what people now perceive her as. The narrator's struggle to heal is apparent in "shards" and attempt to move on in "Breathe me in." The collection ends with "Evolve", one of the shortest poems in the collection which evokes its namesake as it all comes to end.

"You are mine," He murmured across my skin. He inhaled my scent deeply and kissed the mark he gave me. I shuddered as he lightly nipped it. "Danny, you are mine and only mine, you understand?" Daniella Saunders had a pretty rough life. After being heartbroken and betrayed by both her father and her boyfriend, Danny moves to a small town to find the comfort of her mother. Everything is not what it seems and soon, Danny finds herself in the middle of a world she didn't even knew existed outside of fiction novels and movies. Not only does the town seem bizarre, but her senses heighten, her temper is out of control, and her hunger amplify. Throw in an arrogant, selfish, sexy, possessive player who didn't even want her in the first place, her life just seamlessly attract madness. Especially with those creepy threats coming from a "Silver Bullet", she can't keep still.
