    About this ebook

    A beauty to duality: Melancholic Enchantment is a collection of poems that expresses the confusion felt after heartbreak. One minute you want to relive every good moment & the next you want to forget it all. Perception & hindsight change our existing memories, opening our eyes to what we tried to avoid - the flaws of a relationship. Finally acknowledging a relationship’s flaws does not make letting go easy. Nuanced memories make moving forward painful, the details of each indelible moment seeming more lucid as time passes. Focusing in on the reality of a relationship allows infatuation to fade, perception to change, & hindsight to light the way to your growth. Growth is lovely - something so lovely should be treated delicately. In order to let go, you need to grant yourself grace. Never feel guilty for relapsing on memories. Take your time. Melancholic Enchantment validates everything you go through after heartbreak. Hopefully the ups and downs bring you to a place of peace, a place of strength & a place of self-love.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Wild In The World

      Apr 23, 2020

      It’s the way my eyes open to let in more light. Its’ the way my heart skips a few beats like a hiccup and the little gasp when I read those words dancing along the page. My hairs stand on end and I shiver. Books. For they hold so many words. Specific
