"Emptiness is a home with no bed,
A body with no head,
Mechanical pencil, no lead. 

Emptiness is a heart, broken. 
Words chose to be unspoken,
The sibling treated un-kin. 

But your emptiness is freedom,
Your imagination's own kingdom,
No heartache, no feelings."

Charlie Kingsley has had bad experiences with love since she was a young child, which is exactly why she chose to save children from unhappy homes. With only what's left of her grandfather's memory to make up for her lost childhood and several sessions at a therapist, Charlie feels as though change is looking up. 

Full pockets don't compete with an empty heart and Apollo can vouch for that. Losing a child in the past has only hardened his heart in the present and could possibly ruin his future. 

Through secrets, lies, and the blurred lines between, love and the emptiness is brings is pushed to its limits and question lingers: "What is the bliss of solitude?"

Basking Brooks by arun_k29
55 parts Complete
New chapters everyday for your mind, your heart and most of all, your soul!! Saunter by the busy, flowing brook which gurgles like an infant, basking in the late afternoon sun. Feel the cold caress of green grasses, gently thawing under bare feet; their blade-arms sprinkled with faint dewdrops. Lie there, remain motionless and let everything from the inside as well as outside get washed away along with the flowing water. Basking Brooks aims at bequeathing the feel of soulful lightness that envelops the human heart from divine nature, by carefully wading through the readers' minds - scanning, deeply analysing and poking at difficult places to release the soul from cages within. The book is not like any other self-help book to give first-hand advice on how to live, love and survive. It will make you look deeper inside your being, inside those trenches which had not seen any light until then. You will come face to face with the broken, battered, scarred and eventually-healed soul of yours; the encounter that you may have been either faking to have had or avoiding all this while. You will be made to embrace yourself and, ultimately, feel light at heart. The book will become your best friend with whom you will have deep, meaningful midnight conversations - no hiding or running away performances. It will strip you down to your flesh and bones and beyond that, to your heart and naked mind too. It will sort you out by slowly allowing you to collapse on yourself and then build a 'new-you' out of the pieces, now refined and mystically pure; yes, similar to a phoenix, only here, it is not a myth.

LOVING HER WAS NEVER PART OF THE PLAN But they say the heart wants what it cannot have. It starts as a fleeting thought, a quiet admiration, and before you know it, you're caught in a whirlwind of emotions you can't explain. This is a story of unspoken feelings, of longing that stretches across an invisible line-too close, yet never close enough. What do you do when the one thing you want is the one thing you can never have? Some loves aren't meant to be, but they still leave their mark.
