Black Honey Nostalgia


Overview

This collection is a cinematic descent into a mind that argues with itself, forgives itself, and wounds itself again just to feel alive. The poems blend dark humor with a brutal self-awareness, letting every line wobble between confession and performance. It's raw, vulgar, and unfiltered-written the way thoughts actually sound before they're polished for the world. Memories spill out like liquor: sharp, blurry, burning, and sometimes soothing. The voice moves from self-loathing to god-complex and back again, wrestling with identity, power, desire, and the fear of being forgotten. Amid the chaos, there are godly conversations-whispers, confrontations, unanswered prayers, and the quiet moments where faith and doubt sit at the same table. The writing exposes the contradictions of a person trying to outrun their past while still using it as fuel. Every poem digs into the uncomfortable parts of being human: wanting love, pushing it away, laughing at pain, and finding redemption in the places most people avoid. This book doesn't pretend to be gentle. It tells the truth with teeth, but beneath the bite is a beating heart trying to rise again. It's a reflection of a life lived loudly, imperfectly, and with the hope that honesty can still save something.
