📝 Between Deadlines and Dreams, from Sunday to Someday... This poetry collection moves through the motions of a modern week-emails and errands, meeting rooms and bedrooms, inner doubts and outward gestures. What begins as a Sunday night unease unravels into small awakenings, office hauntings, feeling hunted, sensual city encounters, and existential wanderings.
With sharp wit and quiet depth, these poems document the overlooked moments where truth often hides: in between meetings, before breakfast, after a glance, and just before bed.
**a new poem will be added to this collection each week! Add this to your reading list to see how in continues 😉

Finally Free
"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.

The Ex
|| Wattpad Featured || The Amby Awards Romance Winner ❤️ Romance Reads Honorable Mention. The perfect man just proposed and what was my answer? NO. Why? I'm too scared to get my heartbroken AGAIN. Spontaneity led me to the worst heartbreak of my life. A heartbreak that no matter how much I try to forget, remains with me. I must distract myself by focusing on running my restaurant and making sure my best friends have the greatest wedding on earth as their maid of honor. Simple, right? WRONG. Guess who re-enters my life after 5 long years? My heart-breaker ex. He's the best man. And he's not about to make things easy for me. Despite the hole in my heart, did I mention how bad I want to rip his clothes off? I'm in BIG trouble. I REFUSE to let him break me again. I WON'T make the same mistake twice. I WILL resist him. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.Dokončeno
The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would vanish forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Poolside Problems ☀️ (July 2026) • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime AwardDokončeno
After One Night
TAGLISH STORY | ONE Night | billionaire Edition | Isang gabi lang dapat... pero bakit parang lifetime na ang kapalit? Hindi inaasahan. Walang pangalan. Walang plano. Isang gabing pagkakamali na nag-iwan ng limang taon na sikreto... at isang batang hindi niya alam na kanya pala. Madison just wanted to forget her broken heart. Carson never expected na magiging tatay siya-lalo na sa isang batang hindi niya man lang nakilala. Pero ngayon, balik na siya. Mayaman, makapangyarihan, at handang ipaglaban ang karapatan niya bilang ama. Pero paano kung, sa gitna ng gulo, may mas malalim pa palang nabubuo? Paano kung hindi lang para sa bata ang laban... kundi pati sa damdamin nila para sa isa't isa? One night stand turned into a custody war... turned into something deeper. Will they end up together-or will one night be the only thing they'll ever share?

Bare Soul
My Bare Soul can be found at the pit of the glistening waterfalls where my words reside. My loud vulnerability. My truth that I do not hide. My voice although unheard, my words make it come alive. Although it trembles, my hand or pen in it never shakes, it only thrives. Come take a look inside... Maybe you'll find yourself in one of my poems. Or maybe you'll see a soul that unapologetically confides. (Poetry book)Dokončeno
Hidden Poetry
A world of poems captured in a single book, written by a girl who played every role: the academic achiever, the loyal friend, the eldest daughter, and more. She was always the one chosen for the top rank, yet she was never the one chosen by love. This collection is a bridge across the years, composed of verses that trace a haunting evolution where the innocent wonders of childhood slowly sharpen into the cold realizations of the real world. Yours truly, RosePoet (Note: These entries are not arranged in chronological order; however, I have included dates to serve as a guide to navigate the journey through time.)

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!

Soliloquy - Poems on Life, Love & Longing (Wattpad Exclusive)
Featured: Wattpad Poetry Feb 2022 My times spent having conversations about life, longing and love.....with myself. In the company of solitude, I attempted to pen down a few lines on a range of emotions and experiences with a simple aim to revisit them in future. I urge the reader to join me and relive his and her own memories and find themselves. There are a few quiet conversations with 'her' as well. She visits seldom these days, busy with others seeking her. I miss her - 'life'. Hope we find meaning in our little conversations with ourselves and life.
