    When we were young, we met by the sea. I still remember your smile - soft and bright, the only light I ever knew. But everything else faded away. No eyes. No voice. Not even your name. Only that smile stayed with me, clear and warm, burned deep in my mind. I have searched ever since. I ask the waves, I ask the wind, I look up at the moon every night. I pray, I hope, I wait - just to see it once more. But you are the kind of light that shines beautifully... then disappears. You were never mine to hold. Never mine to keep. Never mine to reach. "If the moon is like a wishing star... I wish every night... I think... only mine never does..." You are my moonlight... somewhere out there. And I will keep reaching, forever.

    A Transferee. That is what John Rosefield's current predicament is. Adjusting to a new place, a new school, is what he had in mind. But what he didn't expect was to encounter a girl who was already dead. Now, John finds himself involved with someone who is unable to confront a dark, dreary past, helping her confront the regrets that keep her from moving on. While he may be helping the dead find their way forward, he isn't so sure that he knows where he is going himself.

    The Aftermath Of Feeling is my first poetry album. It's an introspective collection of poems that explore identity, self-discovery, and the beauty of imperfections. Each poem captures a different emotion and feeling we often hide from the world, I hope you feel comforted and heard as you read this set of poems and discover the beauty of being unapologetically you. The style of my poetry album is dark, introspective, and free verse with vivid imagery and emotional depth as I express emotion through my art, in this case, this poetry album of mine. ~ I have created a playlist of 6 songs for each of my poems that match their vibe, as you can listen to while reading them one by one!! It can be found at the end!! It would be very helpful if you could share my poetry album with other viewers who you know will love it! Thank you for helping me grow my work!

    In a city that is slowly forgetting itself, Elias Thorne remembers everything. When parts of Oakhaven begin disappearing from reality-and from the memories of everyone who ever knew them-Elias discovers that he may be one of the few people capable of remembering what has been lost. Then he meets Linnea, a cartographer who cannot remember the vanished world, but can somehow see the seams it leaves behind. Together, they begin mapping the impossible. But as the boundaries between what exists and what has been forgotten begin to collapse, their investigation becomes something far more personal. Some things disappear from the world. Some disappear from memory. And some refuse to disappear at all.

    He was a cage of neon and numbers. She was the anchor keeping him from drifting into the dark." ​Miles Moretti is one of the biggest content creators on the planet. To millions, he has it all: fame, luxury, and a life lived under the constant glow of studio lights in Shanghai. But behind the camera, Miles is a lone wolf drowning in burnout, bitter memories of a shattered marriage, and the quiet ache of missing his two young boys. ​Iffy doesn't care about the fame. An INTJ with an uncompromising eye for order and a razor-sharp wit, she prefers running her quiet café in the US and keeping the chaos of Miles's official Discord server under strict control. Their communication is rare-a crisp professional request here, a dry, sarcastic jab there in the DMs. They exist in completely different orbits, divided by oceans and time zones. ​Until Iffy packs her bags for an impromptu trip to Asia. ​Without a word of warning, she drops a single photo into the general chat from a rainy alleyway in Shanghai-barely two blocks away from his studio. ​When the most famous creator on the internet realizes his elusive, unbothered moderator has just entered his city, the digital walls crumble. And in a megalopolis built on artificial light, two worlds are about to collide in the most unexpected way. ​A slow-burn, melancholic romance about exhaustion, hidden vulnerabilities, and the quiet spaces between the screens.

    A wealthy man is found strangled outside his family estate in Nantes. By morning, everyone inside the house has a reason to want him dead. His wife loved him once. His children feared him. His friends depended on him. His affairs stretched from Paris to the quiet rooms of the family home. As Detective Delacroix digs deeper, the investigation becomes less about murder and more about the slow destruction people inflict on each other in the name of love, loyalty, and survival. Behind every polite conversation lies resentment. Behind every silence, a secret. And somewhere inside the freezing halls of the Valette estate, someone is still hiding the truth about what really happened that night. Dark, intimate, and impossible to put down, The Murder in Nantes is a psychological noir where grief, desire, betrayal, and guilt blur together until no one, not even the victim, seems innocent.

    Time passed by meaninglessly as I tried to understand the meaning of those words that echoed throughout my soul. I stood there on the steel tower; slowly gazing above the ominous endless sky, No moon or Star shone that night. I can't help but feel like my whole body was aching like something inside me was missing. What was the reason that made these cold silver days lonesome? I slowly closed my eyes and buried my face within the red scarf wrapped around my neck and thought to myself. "It's pointless". I took a small turn and decide to leave for the night. Then out of nowhere, white dust seemingly fell from the sky. Then it suddenly made sense. Finally, I found the answer I was looking for all these years. "It was when I met you"
