A poem for my little sister, cover image borrowed from http://lilifilane.deviantart.com/art/dark-butterfly-157679663
At first a glance from the corner of my eye
A flutter on the fringe of vision
I find myself now captivated by the metamorphosis this flicker has undergone
I knew all along the potential depths
I knew all along the hint of shadow within
So similar to my own
I saw you then, a child free of the future, growing in love
I see you now, in youth like a budding rose with petals crimped and curled
beautiful but singed by the heat of burning potential within
Not yet formed but rapidly expanding wings of layered Deep
This creature
Fae
Ethereal
Frightened
I recognize this being as I would recognize my own soul
I was this fragile thing once
I was, I am, and I always will be
Tender Butterfly
Stretching your bloodless wings too soon and recoiling at the pain
Desperate to soar away, to escape the hurt you unwittingly cause yourself
Hush fluttering thing
This thundering call to wander will become a gentle rumble
I long to comfort the sting, to placate the ache with words of peace
But I cannot lie
The echo of the call will resonate through all time
It will whisper in your sleep
It will whimper in your times of joy
But what you cannot see yet, wrinkled and flightless as you cling to your rooted branches,
The perspective you will gain when you finally fly.....
I cannot describe it......Unfathomable and Wondrous.....
Hang on little butterfly
Hang on a while longer
Regret nothing that stems from your passion, your angst, your pain, your visions
But never surrender to the black
Let it surround you and cloak you, let it color your world
Let it fill your bloodless wings
The star shines best among deepest darkness
Refuse to be swallowed up
Survive
Shine
Soar

Life: A journey towards self love or....... self hatred
Poems are a great help to depression. My cover is not be very appealing and my title seems boring. Poems are also not liked by people very much and is considered boring. I may not get many views. But in the end "Don't judge a book by it's cover" only wins. So I have bought you some sad poems, food related ones, poems related to the things I love, Love yourself, Romantic and many more. These are written by me and please don't post it anywhere without my permission. To explain you why I have added a pink heart with black background, it is because the poems tell a story of girl(me) to whom people think she is very cold, straight forward, rude and all those things but... in reality she is too soft for this harsh world. The pink heart represents the softness she is hiding inside using her black side so no one would misuse her. The angel in her still haven't faded after getting betrayed, lost, depressed, fake people, bully and many more. She doesn't wants to go through this again. The pink background in the upper half tell that she still have hopes in her life. I want the readers to know the deep meaning behind the Title themselves and I won't reveal it until the end of the book. Keep your guesses up and think what possibly could be the meaning of this unusual title. Thank you and enjoy the journey of this little girl warning: if you are expecting this to be a story then sorry it isn't a story but a collection of poems written by the "little girl" depending on her mood that time. It is more like a Journey. You could skip it if you want to. Or learn about the little girl I'm representing/my life. Credits- I don't own the pictures used here however some are mine most are from other websites and I give their credits to them.Complete
Butterfly
Butterfly is a poignant tale of transformation, where the unpredictable twists of fate can turn one's life upside down in the blink of an eye. For Yasmina, life has been a relentless rollercoaster of emotions, marked by 19 years of unbearable abuse at the hands of her stepfather and the crippling helplessness of her mother, who couldn't protect her. The scars of her traumatic past have left Yasmina mute, her voice silenced by the weight of her suffering. The loss of her mother has only deepened the wound, leaving an indelible mark on her soul. But fate has a way of surprising us. Yasmina's life is about to take a dramatic turn. She is thrust into a new world, where she must navigate the complexities of a large, boisterous family. Five brothers, a stepmother, a stepsister, a grandmother, and an uncle - all strangers, yet bound to her by ties of blood and circumstance. And then, there are the two billionaire sons, whose lives become intertwined with Yasmina's in a complicated dance of love, loyalty, and longing. As she struggles to find her voice and her place in this new world, Yasmina must confront the darkness of her past and the uncertainty of her future. Will she find love and acceptance among her new family? Can she overcome the traumas of her past and learn to trust again? Or will the wounds of her childhood forever define her? So let's dive into the world of Butterfly, where the beauty of transformation and the power of the human spirit are tested against the backdrop of love, family, and redemption. Written by Hauwa Isah Galadima.

His Butterfly [Edited]
In the world we are living in, everyone experiences love once; a true love. Our life is the same as a journey where people leave their stories behind, some bitter and some sweet. Some of them are lessons and some motivation. We learn about ourselves, our path, our desires, our happiness, our sadness and... our regrets. Like anyone else, we had a story in this journey of life. A story of friendship, a story of love, the story of a... Butterfly. I wish I could tell you how much you were important to me, I wish I could tell you how much I loved you and would have done anything to make you stay. You came like a Butterfly into my life, colorizing my dull life, and left like one so soon that it hurt. Mine and forever, my beautiful Butterfly, my Harmony. Love, your AxelComplete
Thoughts of a Juvenile
Words are sharper than knife they say. Yes it is true. Some perfectly moulded good words can both make and break a heart easily. A poem is a group of such perfectly moulded words given wings to fly. They fly through the mind and heart easily. A hobby is an activity we do to express ourselves, our beliefs and our thinking. For example through drawing, dancing, singing, etcetera. Writing a poem is one of such hobbies. Here words are used. These words and messages are far more twisted. A poem hits the mind, a good poem hits the heart. Thoughts Of A Juvenile is just a collection of my poems.I started writing poems when I was 8. I may not be a great writer. But yeah I write to express. There have been times for me like many other teenagers where I thought I was lost and helpless. There have been good times too. I'm standing on the edge of teenage now, telling you that you can survive this. You can survive everything. All you need is to find your strengths. There are sad nights and then there are mornings full of opportunities. Don't give up. I'm here and I'll always be here. Whenever you feel down just remind yourself "Be stupid". Go out in public and the eat the food you like alone, ask out your crush, flirt like there's no one watching, dance like a ghost has possessed your body, prank people, have a little chat with the nerds you know. Surviving is an art not many can master. Be a Master. There are mistakes in this book and I tried my best to correct them. But couldn't correct them all. I would really love to receive reviews and criticism. Vote if you like it. Comment your views. And follow for more poems. Add it to your reading list or library.Complete
Chrysalis (Book 1.5 in the Wolfen Brethren Series)
At the age of 13 she found her mate. A wolf who was not quite a wolf and a man not quite grown. He was her mate but she was not his. She was too young, too scarred, too innocent, too broken. At the age of 16 she was a woman and he a man, a wolf but she was not enough. His hackles had risen and he was prowling, hunting on other prey while his butterfly learnt to spread her wings. At the age of 23 she was changing, she was a woman in her own right. A beautiful butterfly with wings that spun wide in colours of splendour and he was still a wolf. A wolf who had missed his butterfly take flight. A story about strength, growth and self-love. This book is a standalone but is best understood when Capture is read first.Complete
His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.Complete
