Rose: Future heart

 

The book we shall be reviewing today is 'Rose: future heart' penned by Jazalyn. 


Jazayln has a unique style of writing where she narrates a story through multiple verses of poems combining two different forms of literature into one. 





In this book, she writes about the internal conflicts one has to face through the course of life, bullying, unrequited love, and second chances. 


My favourite poems from the book are: 


Silent SOS


I'm my own MVP

 But poor

 In a rich girl's body;

 What about you?

 Are you a puppet?

 I'll extract your confession

 This silence

 These silent tears

 Cry an SOS

 And I must be fearless

 To have the courage to express

 Are you truly self-partnered?

 I am self-existent

 With no one

 For a lifetime

 I have a generous heart;

 Many want me

 But I want one

 Or none

 I release my energy in art

 For art is everything

 And I'm devoted to eugenics:

 I'll never marry

 And I'll never have kids

 But love can't die

 Before I live it

 Everything hurts

 But when I'm taller

 I feel like a Goddess

 And I need love

 To be well

 The dream

 And the awakening

 Are good

 But only love

 Will calm me down

 On this strange eve

 I resist

 And I say:

 "Me no-

 Know me"

 And I'll keep saying no

 I can't fall in love

 But love can't be lost

 And this grammar of flirt

 Screams that

 There is no me

 Without you

In endless possibilities

 I'm no sinner

 And I can't fall in love anymore

 To the extent

 I will never love again

 But this coexistence of want

 Fools my vulnerable heart

 But it's no time for love:

 It's time for the truth

 Avoiding love

 Equals a virgin

 And the call

 Was spiritual awakening

 That resulted

 In rave

 And closed heart

 In the criminal county

 I'm enough

 For my im-possible dream

 And there is

 Transformation ahead

 But how love fooled us again

 To receive an invitation

 From the beauty

 In the beast?

 Someone loves me:

 Love does that

 

And Stupid love:


My feelings are leaked-

 I shouldn’t have shown them to you-

 I did

 And I pay the price

 But I don’t regret-

 I want you to know

 How far I can love you

 I may be utopian

 But I’m not stupid-

 I know the love I feel

 Is from another space

 And most would call it stupid

 But for me

 It’s the most precious

 In a reality

 That is paranoid

 Only my utopia saves me

 And I know

 It’s what your heart wants

 So I keep loving you

 With this stupid love


If you love reading poetry and want to read something that makes you think deeply, this is your pick.

Discovering the Magic of Unfixed: A Conversation with Amy L. Sauder

  Interview with Amy L. Sauder: Author of Enchantment, Mystery, and Psychological Depth We had the pleasure of speaking with Amy L. Sauder , an author who seamlessly blends the realms of fantasy and mystery. With a unique storytelling style, Amy explores enchanting circumstances intertwined with psychological depth and intrigue. About Amy L. Sauder What inspired you to write in both the fantasy and mystery thriller genres? “I don’t so much pick a genre as have a story that grabs me. I primarily write about enchanting circumstances within everyday life. Secrets, mysteries, and what lies within us all form their own enchantment to uncover. I find inspiration from dreams, stories—books, shows—art, and the magic in everyday life.” When developing your stories, do you usually start with the characters or the plot? “I love plot twists and have them in mind from the start. However, the initial spark tends to be the characters, especially ones who have so much to say. Some character moment...
