crossroad of stars
Welcome to starcross, a collection of 13 poems that feels like a raw, honest letter addressed directly to "you". It's a journey where I weave together the threads of connection across those star-crossed boundaries, exploring echoes of longing, the quiet whispers of desire, and the bittersweet ache of a love that sometimes feels just out of reach. It’s about grappling with those intense push and pull emotions, navigating the delicate balance between what you yearn for and what you ultimately have to accept.
I think of starcross as the sister collection to "starrise", marking a natural progression in how I explore emotions. While "starrise" dove into the very depths of what I truly felt, this collection, starcross, serves as the mirror reflecting the implications and consequences of those feelings. It guides me to understand where those powerful emotions might ultimately lead, even when the path is uncertain or challenging.
As you move through these pages, you'll encounter poems like "cathartic grasp" , which explores finding solace even amidst turmoil, and "peculiar shard", perhaps touching on persistent pain or breakthrough. Then there's "my soul picked you" , highlighting that undeniable pull, and the emotional landscape painted in "the happiest blue" and "piercing my soul". And finally, "right on time" feels like a poignant arrival or departure.
