This is the poetry book for you-the person who finds themselves alone, hiding behind a mask of who they used to be, and unable to speak the truth, so heavy, it falls back down your throat. This is for you.
Where Secrets Are Kept explores the dark side of love in which the repercussions are not only a broken heart. These poems explore the lessons lived and learned by myself and the women closest to me. These poems are not just our words, they are our confession. They are our truth.
"There are only three places
where secrets are kept;
the first is in the heart,
the second is in the mind,
and the third is in the skin.
For what is the purpose of a secret
but to be a place to hide?"
SAMPLE of published collection available on amazon & in select stores.

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

The Pieces of You

Whisper's of the Soul
RANKED 1 in Poem Collection! Sussurri dell'Anima (Whispers of the Soul) is a collection of literary pieces-poems, prose, sonnets, verses, and short stories-born from the quiet corners of emotion, the places words seldom reach. Each work is a murmur from within, a tender dialogue between the self that feels and the self that listens. These pieces do not speak loudly; they breathe. They follow the delicate pulse of longing, memory, and quiet courage-the soft language of a heart learning to understand its own silence. Also, this collection includes different perspectives that I'd like to give a meaningful portrayal. Through every whisper, the soul reveals itself: fragile yet enduring, wounded yet infinite. Thank you deeply for each vote, read, and all your support. Enjoy Reading! (人*'∀｀)｡*ﾟ @myinkspeaks
