A Sappy Sonnet About Love
I'd walk for miles beneath the moonlit sky
With shards of glass embedded in my skin
To see the one whose love for which I'd die
A love that I would give the world to win
His smile is all I need to get me through
His arms are strong and yet his touch is mild
My heart belongs to him for he is true
A friend to calm my inner trembling child
My wish for him is simple and mundane
A longing for the man that has my heart
A pining cry that echoes in my brain
For that same one that rendered it apart
Of Death I ask to promise only this:
To wait for me until I taste his kiss
About the Creator
Michelle Truman | Prose and Puns | Noyath Books
I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. It was high time I started making Prose and Puns a priority, starting with Purple Poetry, Auqredis, and the World of Noyath.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back from love. The chance to meet someone who truly sets your soul alight is a precious gift. Not everyone gets to experience that kind of connection, so when it finds you, cherish it. Some believe that the connections we forge in past lives influence our present. Perhaps those unfulfilled bonds lead us to new love in this life, offering a chance to rewrite a story that ended too soon.

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
