MELANCHOLY | MAY GARNER | AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!    This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly you begin to forget I ever existed. All of me - the parts of flesh you never quite learned to love slips quietly down the drain. I am waiting for the day your fingers unscrew the pipes, dig through the mess, scrape your heart against rust, just to find me again, so we can do it all over. Here, in these pages, I find myself. In ink pressed against my flesh, I whisper the sadness, the heartache, the decay meant for all the unspoken.    A Poetry Collection by May Garner. Original poems regarding real life experiences.

These poems are all for them: to relieve the aching, to stop the itching. In this way, I hope to stay a little bit longer and touch the hearts of people feeling the same way.

These pages hold feelings I lived through, learned from, and finally let go of.

How can I let your voice slump into oblivion if it resembles the sound of the rustling leaves? This book is a reflection of my journey through the ebbs and flows of life-of repeatedly learning the essence of love, learning the pain of isolation, and finding myself again.

A girl who has poems threaded into her heart, a conflicted family and hope far too bright for the tyrannies of this world. A scarred soldier, forced to leave his family Belgium while he fought for France. Will they fall in love...or become each other's greatest problems first?

the texts you reread. the people you pretend not to care about. the poems you wrote but never showed anyone. this is for you. lowercase. faceless. painfully honest.

The 2nd book of random poems written by tasteful poets. Love, life and heartbreak all here.

Poems I've written in crisis this is my therapy ☕️

I write my poetry like a prayer.

An archive for the unlinked and the unfiltered. These are the fragments of stories yet to be told-raw creative sparks and experimental scenes captured in their most honest form. This repository serves as a home for these narrative orphans, keeping them safe until they are ready to be woven into larger worlds.

Not every conversation is spoken out loud. Some are whispered in silence. Some are carried in tears no one sees. Some are never said-but still felt deeply by the heart. Dialogues of the Heart is a collection of emotional, poetic reflections-where love, loss, faith, and loneliness speak in their own language. Between breaking and healing, between distance and devotion, between silence and surrender-there are conversations the soul keeps having when no one is listening. This is for the moments you couldn't explain. For the prayers you didn't know how to say. For the heart that kept speaking... even when nothing answered back. If you've ever felt too much and said too little... If you've ever wondered whether silence means absence or something deeper... Then these pages are for you. Because sometimes the heart doesn't need answers. It only needs somewhere to be heard.

It's a collection of poems I wrote or that I'll be writing. And please do not copy or use it without asking me. If you're going to repost it or use it, please ask first, I won't say no. Anyway, happy reading ♡
