I wrote this poem few months back and im quite happy to share this with everyone!
i have connected several elements mainly mythology,nature,death in my lines to convey the concept of love and its ephemeral memories to the readers in multiple ways.
this is a small explanation of some lines in the poem and its hidden meanings,so feel free to check this after,maybe reading the lines < 3
Greek Legends say that once the moon goddess used to love a shepherd named Endymion..and she asked Zeus to grant her lover an eternal life so she can see him,forever..
so in the poem... another soul,was left alone, even by death itself
The moon seeing his state,tries to comfort him,telling him about her memories with her beloved (in the poem as u can see "whispers from fading twilight")
then upon hearing the moon's past,he remembers about his past love life as well,and speaks about it with the moon..
I've given a sense of freedom for readers to interpret that guy as some lonely soul, or the fallen angel (devil himself)and tried to connect the emotions or conflicted memories that a normal soul or a fallen angel would feel, in the same manner..
Tasogare is "twilight" in Japanese and in the end,i wrote
"yet she stood beyond my touch, an ikigai of what could have been." which conveys that even after him confronting fate, and being engulfed in darkeness for her,she didn't reciprocate the feelings.
"an ikigai of what could have been" as in,if she loved him back, it could've been the true purpose of his life (ikigai in Japanese meaning the purpose of life).

Till The End Of The Moon [SEASON- 2]
COMPLETED. ~"Tantai jin, I still have a lot....A lot of words...That I want to say to you". ~"Yeah..I'm listening." ~"But you are too bad. I don't wanna say them to you. I will say these words to you when we meet again...." ~"Okay." __________________________ •A Beautifully Tragic Love Story He loved her- against reason, against promises, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against every discouragement fate could throw his way. But destiny had other plans. And she loved him too. Yet she wore a mask of indifference, because she knew- he could never be hers. ☆ Tantai Jin. Mingye. Cang Jiumin. Three lives. Not a moment of peace. Not once. Could destiny not offer him love, just once? Was he truly that unlovable? He was neither a Devil God nor the God of War. He was simply-Tantai Jin. He loved Li Susu, always. He changed himself for her. His love was real- because it hurt. And still, he chose to stay. Among countless souls, he was the lone, pure one. ☆ Li Susu. Ye Xiwu. Sang Jiu. She, too, always loved Tantai Jin. But her purpose shackled her heart. She wished to stay by his side- but she was bound by destiny. For it is a tragedy, when a mature mind and a romantic soul dwell in the same body. Like the moon, she watched him from afar- admiring, longing, always. ☆ In every life, they were denied the ending they deserved. But not this time. Because sometimes, the story you believe has ended... might just be the beginning of another. Who knows? __________________________ You can do three things. Vote. Comment. Follow.

~Fate_Love~ ⑉𝑅𝒶𝓎⑉
~ Love And Fate. ~ I used to believe the concept of love and fate was utter bullshit. It was a concept heard by many but only felt by some. So, I never found any point into believing something that I'll never have. For that, I blamed nobody. Nobody but me. {°Until I met him.°} |_______________________________________| °A forbidden love story ready to be told.° °With knowing the outcome, Will they still fall in love?° ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ _This story may contain mature theme.

| MMRM | My Mate, Remember Me
***Please read my message on November 12, 2019 (if you can) for enlightenment purposes*** "Who are you?" A certain Luna asked. "Tell me, why do I feel like this?" The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction. The cliche: "Alpha rejects his mate and regrets it once he sees her." WARNING: Over-used plot and plot holes. I just had to write it. *laughs* #MMRM ©Itwasonlyadream801 [Aleana Dela Cruz]Complete
Embrace My Heart (completed)
*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.Complete

"What do you want now?" she said gritting her teeth as he got closer and closer by every second. "I want nothing else but you Angel..."he whispered, his mouth inches away from her lips.

You're a pervert, a monster, a beast, a freaking werewolf for the love of god!" she screamed, backing away until she touched the wall and froze, realizing there was no way to escape anymore.

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna)
He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain.

The Alpha's Little Rogue
"Goddess, you're so perfect." he breathed the words, staring up at her as she moved rhythmically up and down above him, her breasts bouncing as he gripped her hips, trying to hold back the wave that he felt building inside of him. She just looked and felt so fucking good. "Do female wolves mark their mates?" She leaned forward as she asked the question in a low voice, sliding her arms along his chest as she shifted her position, moving her legs close together so that he was even tighter inside of her as his hands came down to grip her ass, thrusting into her from below. "Yes." he was barely able to gasp out the word. "Not in my pack. But in many- most even- other packs." "Why not yours?" He felt her mouth slip forward, her tongue teasing the same place he had marked on her body half an hour earlier. "The men in our pack just haven't allowed it. It's a sign of claiming and-" her teeth grazed the spot lightly, not hard enough to break the skin, but he felt a mixture of pleasure and pain shoot through his body and he drew in a sharp breath, his head tilting back automatically as he offered her better access to the spot. "It shows that you belong to your mate. Doesn't it? Like I belong to you?" "Yes." He murmured, gripping her more tightly, so close to the edge he knew he'd lose control at any moment. He only hoped he could bring her to the peak of pleasure again first. He'd thought she was close. "Nova." He knew his voice sounded desperate. "Can I mark you, Alpha?" ---------------------------------- When Nova stumbles into pack lands and is captured by the Blazing Moon pack she knows that she has to escape. She makes a daring escape only to be tracked down by their Alpha. But their meeting isn't at all what either or them expected. Can he convince her to stay?
