Shards of Longing: Poems of Sacred Rupture & Spoken Healing

Dark, poetic, and fiercely human.

Shards of Longing is more than a poetry collection; it is emotional cartography. Through themes of loss, belonging, identity, cultural dissonance, and spiritual ache, this work traces a life lived at the crossroads of struggle and self-discovery.

Rooted in the tradition of dark poetry and confessional lyricism, this poetic autobiography embraces contradiction: rage and reverence, trauma and tenderness, laughter and lament live side by side. These poems do not seek to resolve but to reveal. They dare to ask-what do we do with the parts of us that don't fit, don't heal, or won't be silenced?

Raw, resonant, unforgettable. Shards of Longing invites you into a journey of fractured beauty toward wholeness.
