The Turning Earth
An Epic Poem of Seasons, Solitude, and Self
In this sweeping, lyrical journey through the seasons, "The Turning Earth" follows the life of a woman as she grows with the land she tends-from the first breath of spring to the deep hush of winter.
Rooted in nature's rhythms and rich with emotional depth, each movement-Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter-tells a chapter of her transformation: from innocent dreamer to fierce lover, from solitary wanderer to quiet keeper of wisdom. Alongside the changing skies and cycles of growth and decay, she learns to plant, to trust, to grieve, and to let go.
Told in graceful verse, this is not just a tale of seasons, but a celebration of becoming-of embracing life's beauty and sorrow, and finding home not in place, but in presence.

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
Turned my life into art
My collection of poems in the past three years which leads to character development. Realistic incidents, illusionary love, hardships, it's quite a journey. Some say I'm unique and some say I'm Raw. Some say my work is relatable and some feel they can relate. That's crazy though, makes me want to be heard. I was quiet as feathers basically my whole life, closed up, antisocial, lost. Until I started writing. Although, I didn't open my mouth, I was even louder than before. Excuse me, I am louder!Complete

For Zen; my Sea Goddess, my Forget-Me-Not.
You found me where the sea met silence-a shore too quiet for its own heart. And somehow, you turned that silence into a song. Before you, the world was still, the sky unmoving, the piano untouched. But then there was you-bluebell eyes, a voice like waves, a laugh that could wake the tides. You didn't rescue me. You simply saw me-and that was enough to make me float again. This poem, this book, is my thank-you. Thirty tides, thirty heartbeats, thirty poems carved from salt and lavender light-a collection of the moments, the thoughts, and the breaths that became "us." Every page is a memory dressed in poetry. Every word is something I never said aloud but always meant. You are the melody the sea taught me, and I am forever writing it back to you. Happy birthday, wifey!! mwa mwas u dearly ^^ May the sea always carry my words to where you are. 💜🌊 - Aloe, your lavender. (This is a Gift for @Zenisshiiit)
