    About this ebook

    Time stops,
    Disappears gradually.
    There is gravitational attraction between us.
    Meanwhile,
    There is emptiness between us.
    Don’t talk about love.
    Better lie.


    The soul experiences many raw emotions when it is lost between the first stage of love—the feeling of butterflies in the stomach—and the forever lasting stage of love—when the butterflies land and find their home.

    In a collection of beautiful poems, Alice Ross lyrically explores all aspects of love, including why two souls are drawn together, how love can be a terrifying source of power, why sometimes people do not want a perfect lover, the spark between lovers that only ghosts can see, and the heartache that accompanies the loss of a relationship.

    Butterfly’s Home is a volume of free verse that reflects on all things love while reminding us that we are never alone in a world full of promise, light, and hope.

      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.

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
