I care,

I always will.

But I don't think I'll ever

want to be this close again.

I will only get burned in the end.

Embracing the Void is a book filled with thoughts, rhymes and questions on the human experience. It prompts the reader to question their reality and their sense of self. It is mystical and absurd, transcendental and grounding, deep and meaningless. We are born from the void and we will return to it. What we do in between is trying to make sense out of the nonsense. For Sacha Moens, the only way to do this is by a creative endeavour which attempts to grasp the emptiness hiding in each and ever...

rebirth is a collection of poetry about finding yourself again. about losing yourself, and learning to love yourself. this book contains four chapters, each serving a different purpose. the chapters are based on the sun’s changes: setting, dying, rising and glowing. we go through it, too. rebirth takes you on the long journey that awaits you after darkness; it is about finding your light again. in this author's note, handwritten notes make the journey even more personal.

And here we are again. More written thoughts, more poetry. And if there is one thing that I have learned: in poetry everything is possible. You can arrange your words as beautiful as you want them to be or you can just keep it plain and blunt as long as it stays the truth. Your truth. But there is always the choice of how you write your thoughts down. In the end there are no rules, it's poetry. On the other hand we write our poems, lyrics and quotes to tell the reader something. Even with fau...

Ethan Lewis, dubbed “Poet laureate of Hawthorne Place,” writes daily, stopped only perhaps by night time: “But then again, bed beckons: ‘It is time. / You satisfied exigencies of rhyme.’” Doesn’t he declare, “Pentameter helps pass the time”? Maybe it is a way for him to keep away, at least for a while, “our fate: to disappear”; and does he know how to cry for a departed friend: “Our loss. Your gentle soul and kindest life.” Ethan Lewis does not ignore what he owe...

Winters Demon is the titular epic in Victor Venhuizen’s debut poetry collection. Rather than a common theme, it is a collection of stories and ideas that moves from an alternate origin of our four seasons through to depression and a day at the beach, to finally come to rest at the beckoning call of a warm bed on a cold day.

The first book of a self proclaimed modern quote-ologist and thinker.

Within this book L.C. Woods has captured raw, pure and unedited thoughts and feelings of life, love and loss.

"This book is nothing but a reflection of my feelings and emotions while life passes by. "

The three year span which is documented in "The Other Girl" are about a rollercoaster of a love life where a lot of thematics get covered. Falling in love, lust, cheating, hook-ups, regret. A structured story set through the chronology of the poems where the reader is bound to relate to a time where a single person would be the only thing that matters, whether that be positive or negative. Not settling down for a single form of poetry, Zeno explores creative ways to write and keep poetry fun ...

Since I’ve been very young I’ve been writing poems.

They started out as a way for me to relieve emotions, and writing helped me go to sleep. I kept writing and writing, and people were getting inspired, and told me to write a book. Unsure of myself I waited a long time. I’ve now collected poems I have written from when I was 15 to my age today, 19. I’ve got 4 years of poems, and still writing. I want to help people with putting their emotions into words and motivate them to write.
