The Moon is a Lesbian (Poem)

 The Moon is a lesbian.

How do I know?

She demands my attention,

shining like the boldest in the room.

In my slumber, my body aches for her; 

I awaken and look out for her every night. 

My mind feels settled when I see her.

She is safe, and she is home.

When I am with her, she makes me feel whole.

 Every fibre in my being yearns for her.

She is always there.

I know I’m not her only one. 

There were many souls before mine,

and there’ll be even more after.

All who caught her gaze swore to love her.

Not me; I worship her.

I lay naked in her light,

embracing her energy as her rays touched my skin.

She empowers my soul, making me feel intensely,

electricity surging through my veins.

She is the almighty divine and powerful,

invigorating and delicious.

She takes my breath away

every single time.

The Moon is a lesbian,

And she’ll forever have my heart.

This poem is from my poetry collection, The Moon is a Lesbian. You can order a paperback version or purchase the new extended version on Kindle here. If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can read the collection for free!

 Hello, my lovelies!

I'm back from Rome (blog post about my trip pending), and I'm pleased to let you know that, as of March 23rd, you can access the Kindle version of The Moon is a Lesbian. It has 11 new poems. You can buy it now, or if you've got Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for FREE!

I'm ever so grateful for the ongoing support I've received with my poetry collection. I feel so lucky and loved! You can pick up your Kinde copy here. I also recently learned that if you're from somewhere other than the UK, you can order a physical copy from booksellers such as Barnes & Noble and the Bookshop. If you've already picked up a copy, thank you endlessly!

Thank you, as always, for reading my blog. It's been a creative outlet for me for many years, and I'm just grateful for anyone reading this post or who has ever read any post on my blog- it truly means the world!

Kindle Edition

Hello lovelies!

As some of you may know, on my 25th birthday last year, I published my very first poetry collection, The Moon is a Lesbian! It's almost the first anniversary, and I am still shocked at how much support I received and all the love people have given to it. It is a proud moment when people buy your books (some even take pictures with them and cry each time).  

 Publishing the collection was definitely a highlight of 2023. It made some great sales and, at one point, ranked 9 on Amazon's LGBTQ+ Anthologies list, which was just incredible. Since the release, I've been writing my heart out (as always) and have decided that on the year anniversary (23rd March 2024), I will be releasing a Kindle version of The Moon is a Lesbian. However, it will include some new poems!! So far, ten new poems, but more could be added between then and now!

I altered the cover slightly, wanting the Kindle version to look somewhat different from the physical copy. So, here is the cover for the Kindle edition of my poetry collection:

In case you didn't hear about it the first time, the collection is filled with personal poems that cover the topics of love, lesbian life, coming out, mental health, politics, queer panic, and all that is in my heart. I'm excited to share this extended poetry collection with you in the upcoming weeks! 

Keep an eye out, and thank you as always for reading my blog and supporting my words <3

Books and Blossoms

Last Sunday I went out for my daily exercise and found myself snapping away at nature with the camera. The usually busy streets empty. Busy with blossoms and nature showing her true colours.  I set out with a book in my pocket and my soul in need of revival. Lockdown hasn’t been easy if I’m honest I’ve found it hard.  I needed a break. It wasn't far from home, but it was enough. I explored nature and fell in love with photography again.

I took a book out with me, I usually take a notebook but I have been trying to read more recently. I have been buying new books to be delivered and they have been contributing to my dissertation as well as my personal reading. I am trying to use books to go places if that makes sense?

The world is in a bizarre moment and sometimes it is difficult to understand and feel okay. These times are not normal so trying to make a normal can be challenging. Everyone is using this time for themselves and doing different things, myself I have been trying to take comfort in my books. Majority of which is in my student house and I could only bring dissertation books back home with me. With good old Amazon, kindle and audiobooks I have been trying to keep up with reading. I am working on some book reviews too, which I am excited to show you. Books have been the thing I am clinging to during this pandemic. What have you been doing to cope? If you're not coping so well please reach out.
