This is a story turned into poem about a heart that didn't mean to fall... not yet, not this young- but did anyway.
In the street where storms begin. It starts with a shy hello that feels louder than it should, a glance that lingers too long, and a thousand little moments that shift the ground beneath two ordinary lives.
As feelings bloom like wildflowers, so do the fears: the 2 a.m. overthinking, the trembling what ifs, the worry of wanting something fragile too much. But somewhere between the chaos and the hush, a soft truth rises.
Love, even the young kind, knows how to be brave.
An Oath in Young Love is a tender hymn to first promises - not forever written in stone, but vows whispered with shaking hands and honest hearts. A story about choosing someone in the smallest, sweetest ways... and learning that even imperfect love can feel like a new beginning.
a decade in poetry;
The lives that we live in each moment, each year, each decade. Divided into sections, this collection of poems are confessional and reflective as the speaker weaves through the first decade of adulthood. She learns that everything is clear, in retrospect.
SECTION 1: THE RISE -- purity, naivety, unabashed love.
SECTION 2: THE FALL -- learning the hard truth
SECTION 3: IMPACT -- the injury from the fall
SECTION 4: STAGNATE -- loneliness, depression, stuck in the mud
SECTION 5: RELEASE -- acceptance
SECTION 6: THE RISE: PART TWO -- love in it's truest form
