Told in fragments like prayers left between the pages of forgotten books, it follows the narrator's years with a woman who walks like dusk; quiet, deliberate, and unafraid of silence. She folds belief into laundry, hangs grief on walls like hymns, and teaches that love is "a coat that still melts like rain."
After her quiet departure from the world, the narrator embarks on a pilgrimage through towns, churches, and empty roads, carrying her name; sometimes mispronounced, always beloved-like scripture.
It is a story about the sacredness of touch, the way grief can bruise a voice, and how love never dies-it only changes address.

A Mouthful of Stars
Ophelia Bain hasn't spoken in years. When she was twelve, her mother's voice vanished with the echo of a gunshot, and her father's anger became the only sound left in their Pennsylvania home. Silence grew inside her like a second heartbeat - until it became her only language. At nineteen, she runs. Across miles, across grief, across everything that once hurt her. She ends up in a washed-gray coastal town in Washington, where the rain hums softly against windows and the sea never sleeps. There, she finds work in an old bookstore filled with dust and poetry - a place where silence feels almost holy. By day, Ophelia shelves books and memorizes the way light lands on old pages. By night, she writes small letters - fragments of her thoughts - and slips them between the spines for strangers to find. "Do you ever feel like you're made of broken constellations?" one note asks. And to her surprise, someone writes back. Through the language of ink and gesture, through a deaf artist who paints the quiet the way she feels it, Ophelia begins to rediscover what it means to exist - not loudly, but beautifully. Yet the past still lingers like smoke. And as the ghosts of home begin to stir, she must decide whether the fragile light she's found is enough to keep her alive. Because sometimes, even the quietest souls hold a mouthful of stars - and sometimes, it's enough to make the darkness listen.Concluída
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

They're the aftermaths of feelings we never said out loud. > Nothing ties them together, and yet they all bleed the same.Concluída
Coherence ✔️
COMPLETED, next poetry collection coming soon This is a poetry collection that is both ever updating and ever changing. This collection of poetry isn't exactly traditional or ever a solid complete piece of prose, I am ever adding and changing and morphing them into something I feel is better or is more to what I feel suits the character or the emotion I wrote the poem to embody. That being said, this collection has some works alike the past one that I made a few years back that doesn't quite hold up to standard today. I have poems that I have remade and moved into this collection, so If you have come from the previous collection know that if you recognise the theme it's because of that. I created this intended as both a challenge to write some feelings into something productive as-well as to write some inspired works made for a character I made as I wrote the poem or for a event or piece of media I enjoyed. Nothing is ever solid or at least their perspective will change as I write the poem or rewrite it. Anyways enjoy, I try not to be too pretentious but I don't really care because again this is a vent piece of work.Concluída
