Her name sounds like a sigh of relief, so of which, I have none Caught cruelly in indiscretion, my fickle flaws laid in the sun Red, golden tears for years, a yearning so profound My dear, my dear, it is, I fear, this loneliness newfound. So, whisper please, through the trees, in ripples of wind on water Your freedom carries my immobile heart, a drought I brought her For as long as fire and air are combustible, we are not compatible Our planet of breeze and heat, like Mars, is eternally inhabitable. Like sorrow and scorn, mercurial desires are fated to retrograde As your melody dims to an echo, and my blaze begins to fade Your song returns a scream, shouted over a great ravine That holds an absence where memories, bold like ashes, gleam. But, what is the color of rust when our lips eclipse? In darkness, a fossilizing amber burning round your hips For I'm the winged fleece you fiercely seek in fever dreams A wild dragon's breath on your frozen cheek, it seems. Though when the pure mourning rays return I'll find our eros engraved upon a Grecian urn.
You weave such golden strands of words into a beautiful crown that anyone would be graced to lay on top of their head

Hey! Thank you for your feedback on ‘Reflections’. I’ll be taking your feedback into account where it is necessary in future edits. :)
I wrote this poem about the concept behind Dear Camilla. It’s called Refractions & Other Forms of Light… Take a walk through my memory’s museum Witness the nature of every plant in my garden Hear the highs and lows of my ballad A history of hurt and heartache Written by a lover of love and life Painted with vibrant colors and dark contrasts For to live is to tumble through thorns And read into the shapes of the scratches Like mythical constellations Like cavemen drawing with blood So, study me, my inflections and imperfections A menagerie of mes I’ve tamed for you If you exist, truly, or are just a cloud taking the shape Of a God I hoped would forgive me If he listened to the devil's advocate excuse A pitiful sinner praying for you to understand Lend me a hand, for mine are pressed together Like lips that know highs can’t happen without lows, Or love and life without hurt and heartache Resolution without death Found in remnants, recollections of the past life Of yesterday Splayed naked in my museum, my garden, my ballad.
Though I haven’t been writing, I did update Dear Camilla’s cover!! I think it looks kinda cute ✨
HEY ALL sorry i havent updated dear camilla in like a week. ive honestly been in a depression pit and havent left my room in like a month so... finally coming out of it (sorta kinda maybe) so hopefully i can do things i like (such as working on dear camilla) again soon. wish me luck finishing a months work of late russian language hand outs lmao.
It’s ok to take time to heal. If you walked on a broken leg you would just break it more. But if you give it the time necessary to rest it’s even stronger than before. I know it can be a hard pill to swallow. I have trouble with this as well. It’s one of the main reasons why I don’t post anything because it stresses me out and I feel guilty for it. But you’d rather rest and be at your best than work at your worst. I love you no matter what. You have also been so incredibly kind, and I wish you the best <3 My DMs are also open if you need to talk about it, or if you just wanna chat sometime. <3
i feel emptiness so entirely, a cavernous vacuum expanding against my skin, both iniside and out. though i love words, theres nothing beautiful about these.
My chapbook, Tidal Stains, is available from Bottlecap Press! https://bottlecap.press/products/tidal "Emotions, like tides, come and go. The ocean, like the subconscious, is full of unknowns. Driftwood, dead fish, and rocks stain the shore like poems in a notebook— remnants of a turbulent sea of consciousness. Poems are tidal stains, which Isabelle employs to reckon with her adolescence, femininity, and existence. 'Larcenous crimes of opportunity presented with youthful indignation: myself in hyperbole,' she describes." Growing up, I felt like I didn't have a voice. I didn't know myself well enough to speak with depth or authority. I wasn't comfortable taking up the time or space needed to express myself. But, I still had the basic human desire to be understood, heard, and, ultimately, loved. To satisfy that yearning, I wrote poetry. Presently, just months away from my twentieth birthday, I've found my voice. I know who I am. Tidal Stains includes poetry I wrote throughout my childhood. Publishing with Bottle Cap Press is extremely special to me because it gives younger Isabelle the voice she felt she didn't have. Every day, I feel thoroughly inspired by the many creative, thoughtful people in my life— both in the online poetry community and the individuals I am blessed to call friends. I look forward to learning and growing as a writer. Thanks to Craig for making this possible!! <3

SCREAMING. I JUST PUBLISHED MY FIRST POETRY CHAPBOOK!!!! CHECK IT OUT--> https://bottlecap.press/products/tidal
Last night I couldn’t sleep and I figured out how I want Dear Camilla to end! Now it’s only a matter of actually telling the story… I’m really excited to share it with you eventually ;)
Lol ONE MORE THING I’ve noticed when I’m talking about writing ITS ALWAYS IN THE PASSIVE TENSE— like IM not the one doing it, but rather the NOVEL is… This explains why I didn’t know how I wanted the book to end until after I wrote more, IT revealed itself to me. Maybe that sounds a little delusional like a crazy prophet or something, but I actually mean it in the humble sense, like I couldn’t have thought of the perfect ending in advance
Also I calculated the book length equivalent for what I’ve written so far and it’s at a solid 50 pages, ~10,000 words. Although it’s not about word count— I’m aiming for around 75,000!! I think the novel will pick up its pace soon and secrets will be revealed.
Heyyyyy my comment on your last part got report for some odd reason so here’s what it said I loved this so much. It was like a mosaic tapestry woven out of words. I was beginning to wonder if Camilla was real or she was imagined by Maxine, but now I'm curious about something else. I wonder if Camila is the one who dies. At first I thought the murder was a random person. But Maxine doesn't mention them as a person. She says she could never kill anyone, rather than she could never kill them. Also the fact that she doesn't seem to be waiting for a response is strange. I find this an interesting concept even if I am not correct. It's something that makes the reader wonder and is great on your part. Much love <3 and can't wait to see what you do next
Hellooo @BBBlondey!! Thanks for making sure your comment got to me, they are very important to me. I'm really glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun writing in an abstract way— it's creatively freeing. "A mosaic tapestry woven out of words" is possibly the highest compliment an author can receive, so I thank you dearly. As you've seen, the story arc of Dear Camilla is still in the wind, so to speak. Truthfully, I haven't decided what Camilla is— alive or dead, real or imagined, or any combination of those fundamental states. I think this not knowing is okay for now and I look forward to developing a clearer narrative arc as I reread letters and pick up on hints my subconscious has left to direct me. Conceptually, this is really fun because it makes it so the writing in the earlier letters has room for multiple interpretations— which will make the eventual twist that much more exciting (hopefully). Thank you, as always, I seriously look forward to your comments each time I publish a new part, it's really inspiring and has directed me in ver important ways. I'm totally swamped with college work, but I have been meaning to read more of your stuff because I love it just the same.
