“Sex isn’t always delicate and silk. Sometimes it’s ropes and guilt to keep you chained to wilt all hope …”
Dive into a collection of poetry that explores the raw edges of heartbreak, hunger, and healing.
Sapphic, confessional, and unafraid, these poems strip love down to its bones, exposing the beauty and brutality of desire. From lust and longing to pagan ritual and reclamation, each piece moves through shadow and fire toward liberation.
This is poetry that does not whisper. It confesses. It aches. It remembers. It rebuilds.
For readers who crave verse that is honest and intense, trauma-aware and boundary-breaking, and queer-centered and unapologetically real. Perfect for lovers of contemporary confessional poetry, queer-lit, and writing that transforms pain into power.
Not delicate. Not silent. But fiercely alive.
These poems are raw, emotional, and seductively sinful. Each one leaving you wanting more.
In this collection of tantalizing poems, the author’s heart and dark soul comes through. With each word and verse, the poems come alive and gently caress your mind.
Light a candle and pour some wine. It’s about to get a little hotter.
