"There's a blaze of light in every word, it doesn't matter which you heard: the holy or the broken, 'Hallelujah.'"- Leonard Cohen The poems in this series center on two characters: I, the speaker, and You, the speaker's subject. I is not a specific gender or orientation. I is meant to mold to the reader's idea of who they would be. We follow I in not only a love story, one where love blossoms and lingers until its destruction, but a tale of self-discovery, where, after a long and arduous quest for it, I finally finds happiness. Contents: Prologue- Definition 1- Sonnet 2- Astonishment 3- Hello 4- Knowledge 5- Infatuation 6- Notice 7- First 8- Idol 9- Consummation 10- Homecoming 11- Seasons 12- Satisfaction 13- Interlude 14- Change 15- Quest 16- Investigation 17- Faith 18- Wisdom 19- Enough 20- Stop 21- Words 22- Broken 23- Fury 24- Envy 25- Pleading 26- Memory 27- Nothing 28- Regeneration 29- Realization 30- Onward Afterword- Freedom WARNING: Mentions of domestic violence, rape. There's some hefty and kind of kinky sexual content in this, so be cautious if that makes you uncomfortable (9, 11, 12 especially). Infidelity and abuse are pertinent themes, and religious imagery is woven in (mostly pagan, Christian). Please remember your own limits as you read. Thanks!Complete

Romanticizing Him
My face could have gone up in flames at that moment with the rate at which I was blushing, because literally everyone was shouting and cheering. "Asher what has she done to you?" One of Asher's friends went down on his knee beside Ash in exaggeration, going as far as placing both hands over his head. "She stole heart" Ash muttered placing his palm on his left chest. "Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh!." Okay! My face is just going to fall off now, I was blushing like a tomato 😹 Flashback.... Ash: I know love is stupid Kim: You keep saying that but I believe love is the most beautiful thing ever. Ash: Argh!. Money or love?. Pick one.. Kim: love with always win and I pick love. Ash: That's dumb. Kim: You know what's dumb?. Not believing in love like you..
Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDComplete
My Lill Vixen(Part 1 Of D Angelo's Series)
She lives in a delusional world-reading books and waiting for a man like Zade Meadows or Rhys Larsen to rescue her from the demons of her past. A prickly wall guards her once-wounded heart. She doesn't believe in love-or maybe she just doesn't believe in real-life love anymore. Smart. Sassy. Fearless. She'd rather die than be controlled. They call her feisty, but no one knows what lies beneath that venomous fire... except him. He's ruled demons since childhood-who knew he could overrule hers too? Born into power, he commands empires: companies, hotels, clubs, restaurants... and an illegal empire that stretches far beyond. The ruler of The Great Vipera Empire, he didn't just inherit his throne-he built it higher Their paths cross through an arranged agreement Not a contract. Not a cliché Something far greater. Who knew she'd find a new version of herself-and his hand waiting when she finally rewrites the meaning of home. Fair warning-this story drips with spice, tension, and slow-burn chaos. You've been warned. No instant fireworks , just a flame that builds until it's unstoppable🔥 A slowburn romance worth your time - give it a chance, dear readers. From one book lover to another. ~ "Stop smacking my chest, cara mia, or I swear I'll drop you right here." I nod toward the stairs, jaw tight. She giggles - soft, reckless, addictive. Those damn giggles... my oxygen. "Then I'll hold your collar and drag you down with me," she fires back, eyes daring me to move. I lean in, my breath brushing her ear. "Hmm, I've got better plans for you grabbing me by the collar, bella." Her eyes flicker - surprise, heat - before she smirks. "Sure, honey. Be good, and I might give you a treat." Her hand slips into my hair, tugging just enough to test me. I narrow my eyes, a low chuckle rumbling in my chest. "Oh, so that's how it is? You just turned my fantasy into a pet-owner game." Smart girl. I grin. Real smaComplete
