"Where The Shadows Grow" is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of fleeting moments and quiet reflections, set against the backdrop of a world in twilight. Through vivid, poetic prose, this collection of stories and musings delves into the spaces between light and darkness, the weight of unspoken apologies, and the inevitability of endings. Each passage feels like a breath taken in the cold-sharp, ephemeral, and full of meaning that lingers just out of reach.

In this semi-apocalyptic landscape, sun kings once ruled, burning brightly before fading into memory, leaving behind the quiet survivors who find strength in the shadows. It's a world where apologies are etched in snow, only to be erased by the wind, where the search for meaning feels as endless as the falling rain, and where survival isn't about shining, but enduring.

With influences from the gritty realism of Bukowski, the wandering spirit of Kerouac, and the spiritual depth of Rumi, "Where The Shadows Grow" offers readers a journey through the fragility of human existence, the inevitability of time's passing, and the beauty found in letting go. It is a meditation on resilience, written for those who find peace not in grand gestures, but in the quiet spaces of life where the sun sets and the stars begin to shine.

Let It Consume You

Give yourself time to feel your emotions But don't let them control you Let it consume you But not forever. There are moments in life when you have to let yourself feel, the pain the trauma, the depression the anxiety. There are also moments you have to force yourself out of the darkness, before it fully consumes you. These poems are the moments, when I stewed in my sadness, gave it the steering wheel. But are also the moments I grabbed the wheel and took control. This book is for those healing Those fighting Those who are speaking up And those who are silent
