blackwoman comfort comingofage love loveandloss mirror muse new newbook poetry

She wrote to feel, he stayed to fade.

Muse and Mirror follows Naomi, a quiet Black girl with a loud heart, whose world is made of verses and metaphors. When she meets Khai, a guarded boy who carries more silence than intention, her poetry begins to take shape around him - a muse she can't quite hold.

But as her notebooks fill with love he can't return, Naomi is forced to ask: Can words alone build something real? Or are some stories only meant to be written, not lived?

This coming-of-heart story explores unrequited love, emotional growth, and the moment a girl realizes her pen was never meant to chase someone else - but to find her own voice.All Rights Reserved

Whispers From Pine Haven by Josann_Writes

There are things a mirror cannot reflect. Like guilt. Like grief. Like the truth about the child you were never supposed to raise. Zariah didn't move to the small town of Elmsbrook to start over - she came to disappear. At 26, with scars no one sees and a daughter who speaks to things no one else hears, Zariah has learned not to ask too many questions. She's a mother by survival, not by design. Haunted by memory gaps, dreams of hospitals that don't exist, and a recurring fear of her own reflection, she just wants to make a life for Nova - quiet, clean, and far away from her past. But Elmsbrook is not clean. And the mirrors here don't just show your face - they show who you used to be. Or worse... who you were meant to become. --- Nova is six years old. Bright. Curious. And wrong in ways no one talks about. She speaks to the mirror in her bedroom like it's an old friend. She sings lullabies she shouldn't know. And she wakes up some nights with black eyes that fade by morning. She doesn't remember being someone else. But the mirror does. And it's time she remembered. Caleb thought the worst day of his life was the day his daughter Lina died in his arms. But grief is a liar - and the mirror offered him a deal. One daughter, split in two. One raised in silence. The other raised in love. One became Nova. The other was left behind. Now, years later, the fragments of the bargain are waking up - and Caleb is pulled back into the storm he thought he escaped. But what he finds on the other side of the mirror isn't just his daughter. It's the part of himself he buried to forget her. 💔 Three broken souls. One split child. A mirror that feeds on memory. As Zariah unravels the truth of her forgotten trauma, she's forced to confront the impossible: that the child she's raised may not be entirely hers - and may never have been. Nova is changing. 🩸 Because the mirror isn't just a portal. It's a parasite. And it's hungry for families like he

Maya by amie_meredith

Maya has spent five dreadful months in the psychiatric hospital recovering. Once she finally is released she is forced back into her boring life. But will things really be so boring still when she meets 'bad-boy' Noah Dalton? He is annoying, rude and always around Maya for reasons she can't understand. Maya is brave, yet also afraid that her choices could lead her spiralling back into a bad place again. Will Noah be able to save her from herself? Or will he be the cause of her destruction? ---------------------------- ~Noah's pov~ 'These,' I slowly run my finger across one of her scars, 'are fucking beautiful.' Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'

Mending Heart |18+| by alexdenise_writes

When a downcast, introverted, and unmotivated twenty-eight-year-old hooks up with a stranger at a bar, the last thing she expected was to see him at work the next day. What happens when the girl who's sworn off relationships, falls in love with the one man who isn't afraid to break apart the walls she's built? ............ McKenzie Anderson is still trying to piece her life back together after separating from her husband, but she's dug herself into a slump she can't quite get herself out of. Add in an infuriating and devilishly handsome new boss to the mix, things are bound to get a whole lot more interesting in her life. Ethan Thomas is a straight shooter who knows what he wants, and isn't afraid to show it. He's got his eyes set on the feisty blonde, and he's made it his mission to show her love isn't hopeless. From their first wild night together, both Ethan and McKenzie felt the intense and undeniable attraction between them. The closer these two get and the more vulnerable they become, they have to wonder if there's more to their encounters than steamy passion. One thing's for sure, and that's that sparks will fly and hearts will be mended. ~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\ "What is it you want, McKenzie?" He demands, his lips on my neck nibbling and kissing their way up to my earlobe. His hand trails down my skin until it finally reaches the lace material separating my pussy from his fingers. Still staring intently into my eyes, he slowly moves the lace material aside and dips into my hot and ready core. I bit down on my lip, attempting to suppress my moans. This only motivates him to push deeper. His fingers begin to move rhythmically inside of me, pushing me over the edge. "I want you!" I finally release, fully giving into him.

After Hello by MRZHLLCLR

A companion to "Before Goodbye" He loved her before hello. He's been her constant-her safe place, her silent anchor, the one who never left. For years, he loved her quietly, waiting behind every heartbreak she ran from and every almost-love she clung to. She never saw it. Or maybe she did... but not the way he hoped. And still, he waited-through every tear she cried on his shoulder, through every letter she wrote that wasn't for him. But time doesn't wait forever. And love, no matter how deep, can only stay silent for so long before it begins to fade. Told from the perspective of the boy who loved her first, After Hello is a raw and aching parallel to Before Goodbye-a story of unspoken love, letting go, and learning to choose yourself... even when your heart still whispers someone else's name.

Just Go With It by babygurll98

Megan attends college at Clemson University and she has a boyfriend, Christian, that she has been with since high school. She has the great best friend, nice apartment and car and she's a year away from her degree, but something just feels missing. Megan doesn't hate her life by any means... She's just gotten sort of bored with it, always feeling like there's something else she needs... Until she meets... Noah. She never expected to meet someone like him much less feel the sparks that ignite as soon as they meet eyes.... Can she just ignore feelings like that? Feelings she never felt before, not even from her own boyfriend. Noah won't be able to resist though, he has to do something about it... about her. Will she give in to the feelings taking over her? ---------- Excerpt: "Oh, you've been picturing me naked have you?" She asked sort of becoming amused now. Shit do I sound like a pervert? "No that's not what I mean...I just..." I tried to laugh it off hoping she wouldn't think I was a douche. She glanced inside through the sliding doors to see what looked like the girl she was dancing with earlier looking for her. When she turned back to look at me she had a look in her eyes that while I didn't know what it meant was still incredibly sexy. "Damn that's too bad... because I have been thinking about you naked since I ran into you this morning." She said confidently standing up and walking past me towards the house but not before brushing her hand across my leg. I watched her in awe as she walked back inside swinging her hips making my eyes go straight towards her ass. I sat there for a few minutes confused but extremely turned on... I couldn't lie I was definitely picturing her naked now.

Verre by entrangemystique

In this world we live in, people say be real. But when one becomes at their realest state, they're frowned upon for not being the same as what the majority is. Mirrors are what people look at on to see how they look like. But mirrors only reflect, they cannot show everything-especially the inner motives, the secrets and the most genuine emotions that can only be perceived by the eyes as they say. Madison gets stuck in a situation where she has to choose: To be real or not.
