Last published Sat, May 2, 2015
This collection of poems delves into the raw terrain of grief, loss, and abandonment-with haunting vulnerability and lyrical depth. Each piece is a quiet ache, tracing the contours of sorrow: from the trembling silence left in the wake of a goodbye, to the aching echo of love that once felt eternal but now drifts. Alongside human heartbreak, the verses tenderly illuminate the silent suffering of animals left behind-loyal companions cast away, their trust shattered without explanation. The collection builds a mosaic of mourning that is deeply personal yet universally resonant. It's an ode to every voice unheard after love leaves the room.

•"Unspoken: A Tale of Silent Love"
"Every day, I held back the words my heart screamed in silence. This isn't just a story-it's a confession, written in shadows for someone who never looked back.

The Weight We Carry
Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

A Love That Waited Quietly
This isn't just a story - it's a piece of the author's own heart. A connection between two who never planned to find each other, yet somehow did - in a fleeting moment, in a word, in a silence. A forbidden love. A love filled with longing and sacrifice. It was a love that lived in du'as, in unread messages, in sleepless nights and unsaid words. A love full of submission - not just to the feeling, but to the One who created it. This is a story of quiet connection, unspoken feelings, and deep-rooted emotions that lived between silence and prayer. A love marked by hardship, longing, and submission - not just to the feeling, but to the will of the One who wrote it. Not every love is meant to last in this world. But some loves never truly leave.Complete
The Moon Remembers: After the War
"The moon remembers what he forgot. Where love was promised, even as memories faded. The river still flows, and the moon still watches us. It has become the silent keeper of everything his memories left behind: every vow, every touch, every whispered dream shared beneath its glow and beside the shimmering river. Promises made just for the two of us. Though he no longer remembers, the moon does. It holds the love he lost, the love I still carry." ----- Years after her husband's death, she still writes letters by moonlight, holding on to a love lost in war. Everyone says she's foolish for waiting. Until he returns... alive, but with no memory of her and a new life that doesn't include her. Now, she must choose: hold on to a love that's already gone, or let go of the only man she ever waited for. ----- Author's Claim: This is my first time publishing a story and I know I still need improvement. I'm not a professional writer, just someone with a heart full of memories, emotions, and a love that never found its ending. Every word I've written comes from a place of longing, loss, and the hope that maybe someone out there understands. I don't know where this story will go, or if it's enough... But I do know it's real. And if you're reading this, thank you because it means the story is no longer just mine. It's ours now. - From a first-time publisher who still believes in love, even the kind that hurts. Ouchhh P.S. still ongoing and editing some parts.
"Things I Never Said Out Loud"
These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.Complete

Fragments Of A Shattered Dawn
A collection of raw, unfiltered poems that bleed with honesty. Inside these pages live the ghosts of depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, heartbreak, abuse, and grief. These words do not shy away from darkness-they sit with it, speak its language, and unravel the silence it leaves behind. But this is also a book about survival. About longing and love, even when unreturned. About desire that aches and healing that comes in imperfect forms. About the messy, jagged ways we try to piece ourselves back together. For anyone who has felt too much, or nothing at all. For anyone searching for fragments of themselves in the ruins. This is not a guide to healing. This is proof you are not alone in the storm. Trigger Warnings: Depression Self-harm Suicidal ideation Grief and loss Emotional and psychological trauma Abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual) Dissociation Heartbreak and unrequited love Loneliness and isolation Sexual themes and longing Descriptions of pain and intrusive thoughts
Letters the Moon Forgot to Send
Poems by ; missinkiejaneskie There are words I never got to say - words that lingered between the heart and the night sky, waiting for courage that never came. This collection is for those letters, for every emotion I sealed away in silence, for every moment that deserved a softer ending. Each poem in Letters the Moon Forgot to Send was written under the quiet company of the moon - my silent witness, my only listener. These pages carry the warmth of longing, the ache of things unsaid, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. They are confessions wrapped in starlight, small pieces of my heart that I once tried to hide. Some poems are about love that stayed, others about love that left. Some are about the versions of ourselves we outgrew, and the people we couldn't keep even when we tried. But above all, these poems are about remembering - that even when the world forgets, the soul remembers. I wrote these words not to be perfect, but to be honest. To remind anyone who feels lost that they are never truly alone. That somewhere, someone else is looking at the same moon, holding the same kind of ache, and still choosing to hope. So here they are - the letters the moon forgot to send. Maybe they were meant to find you instead.
