Continental Soldier: Battle Road

About Continental Soldier: Battle Road

When tyranny comes calling, even the least of us can become heroes…

Levi Dawson wasn’t thought highly of in the village of Lexington, Massachusetts. The son of a dissolute drunk, he’s always been looked down upon or pitied by the people of his town. He’s had to work twice as hard to win half the esteem he deserves, and his prospects have never looked that great. But when word comes that redcoat soldiers are marching towards his village, Levi heads to town with the rest of the militia, unsure of what is to come. He and his few trusted friends now face an impossible situation. Soldiers are coming, soldiers who seek to enforce the creeping tyranny of a distant, uncaring king. To back down would mean living under their yoke forever, giving up the freedom gifted by God. To fight means taking on the greatest professional army in the world, and to break forever from the country of his birth. Worse still, the only woman who’s ever given Levi the slightest attention is in the path of the British advance. What does a mere farmer do in this situation? What does a free man do? Levi is about to find out, and it will be the stuff of legends…

Sweet and Sour by D. T. AdamsAbout Sweet and Sour by D. T. Adams

Poems from the heart about love and relationships

A collection of romance poems that isn’t always blissful and lovey-dovey. The pieces of poetry are arranged into three sections:

– Single. Poems about the hope for a significant other and being jealous of those who are already with someone
– Taken. Poems about being happy in a relationship and fear of a collapse coming
– Single Again. Poems about the delight of being free and feeling lonely

Love can be the best thing ever, but it’s not always plain sailing. It can be thrilling, sensual and breathtaking, but also risky, devastating and brutal.

Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart

About Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart

Shortlisted for the Faulkner-Wisdom Poetry Prize, Schematics and Assemblies of the Cosmic Heart is poetry of collisions and connections. A cosmic landscape with its own laws of physics, bending with the impact and force of human passion and imagination. The poems are at once personal and archetypal, full of human feeling and emotion, rich in the joy and sadness of human connection, but all the while connecting to something abstract and eternal. The focus may settle on a brittle image, domestic or mythical, or on a transitory feeling that unexpectedly opens into a transcendental vista and then, perhaps, closes again. Each poem is tightly sculpted and easily read, but in a way that keeps readers reaching, connecting the dots in their own cosmic lives.

From Darkness to Light: God’s Gift of Love

About From Darkness to Light: God’s Gift of Love

When you are feeling the hope of falling and you are failing. You can see how you fight from within your words. You are great and belief is an option. You get to decide what you think life should be like. This book will show you through poetry and image. You are your own light, and you decide your words, no one else. Life can always be great in every way. In the morning, remember how: and what you say can be your friend or make your days dark. I hope this book helps find you in the place you want to be and helps you learn to fight that demon called darkness that you no longer wish to be in.
When we open our eyes, we see every gift given to us and God’s protection from what will hurt us. The thing is we must stop, look and pay attention to everything. Yes, it is work when you think about we do it every day anyway.
I was never positive as I am today. It took work on my end and God did his part by changing me from the inside out. My will to change from the darkness to light helped God to finish the assignment He had given to me. Life is hard, Yes, I know. The thing is when we see our life as hard and we don’t see any Positive or no way to grow and learn, then that is what life becomes. It is like school only as an adult you are now in the school of life and the world. You are finding yourself again.

Scattered Thoughts By Hanan Saif

About Scattered Thoughts By Hanan Saif

The intention and inspiration behind this book were the stories following each piece. These bits of poetry are written to inspire others. They are stories of victims who managed to survive from what is somewhat called the norms in our daily living. They are layers of billed sorrow. Thoughts that were put to fit their scattered pieces. Their reflections of suicide soon became the light at the end of the tunnel, the hope for better days. They became the source of joy and comfort for someone’s struggle. They put efforts into living. They never stopped trying. They survived their battles, and so can the many of you fighting. This wasn’t the end for them. Their battles don’t define them; rather, it shapes them individually. Their scars are sharp but an uncovered tattoo for the world to have a glimpse at. It is their stories of survival. Not everything is about ending your life. Not everything is a blame of one individual. Through these individual efforts to make changes in other lives is what pushed me to proceed with the book. I was inspired yet shocked into the truth of our existence. I know these stories have been ongoing issues for a while. However, my goal is to support and motivate others to be the best version they can be. That no matter how many times you fall and fail, the more you push for, the better. Scattered Thoughts is a motivation for the young and the old. It is a series of battles where the victims were the winners at the end. The people whose stories are written about are now happy and wish that you could end up with their results. They wish that you can forgive yourself, love yourself, and most importantly, appreciate and know your worth.

Outside My Garret Window

About Outside My Garret Window

The Garret Poet dreams of being a bard. He dreams of flying and singing like a nightingale – like any bird for that matter. However, his work holds him tight to his narrow room, where he watches the world he labors to be part of pass by his window.

He loves. He yearns. He gives, and he takes life. He reads, he writes, he cries, and he broods over that which causes him existential strife. He does this in his garret room, offering all for the sake of poetry, to set himself free from his anticipations and doubts. And finally, to rightly pay his respects to the nightingales that sang before him with his fitful poesies.

the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts by Megan Diedericks

About the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts by Megan Diedericks

gray, empty
but i let the words grow
and my heart, i let show
but with separation came
the anxiety, the pain, the journey
within confinement.
i wasn’t ever my own
and my many faces had me so alone,
i thought i might drown.
it started before i even knew what puberty meant:
at twelve, i wrote my first lines.
now, at twenty, i want you to read my warning signs.
