So, here we are, at starfall—this collection of seventeen poems feels like the final, poignant chapter in a story, closing out the trilogy that began with "starrise" and "starcross". It was released on my seventeenth birthday, May 3, 2024, which makes it feel incredibly personal, like a time capsule. For me, "starfall" is about those moments in existence that flicker like stars in the night sky—brief, yes, but leaving an everlasting impact. It's a mosaic of experiences, capturing the raw beauty, sharp bitterness, and intense rage that comes with life's journey.
Within these pages, you'll find snapshots of my life, almost like random chapters immortalized in verse. Just like stars streaking across the night sky, these poems illuminate the darkness, making sense of those times when things felt like they were collapsing or shifting dramatically. It’s about recognizing the pattern in the chaos, finding the beauty even when the light seems to be fading.
As you read, you'll meet titles like "fall off her cliff" and "confine of my dreams," which hint at moments of vulnerability and internal struggles. Then there’s "my own deceit," a more introspective look, and of course, the titular "starfall" itself, which speaks to those inevitable drops and changes. It’s about finding the beauty in how light can still be found even when stars fall.
