Overview

Cinder & Ivy: Poetry and Prose for the Beautifully Broken There are books that entertain, books that pass the time, and then there are books that meet you in the dark places you thought you walked alone. Cinder & Ivy is not polished perfection. It is jagged edges and whispered confessions, the kind of words born from sleepless nights and memories that refuse to stay buried. It is the ash and the bloom-the remnants of what fire destroys and the stubborn life that insists on growing back anyway. This collection is a journey through the ruins of love and the quiet aftermath of survival. These poems and prose pieces are not meant to be tidy or neat; they are fragments, like pieces of glass caught in the light, sharp and shining all at once. They speak of betrayal and longing, of the ache of silence and the courage it takes to break it. They carry the weight of grief but also the fierce pulse of resilience, the reminder that we do not stay cinders forever. From the brokenness, ivy climbs. Here, you'll find words for the moments you couldn't explain out loud-the grief of watching something sacred collapse, the rage of being unseen, the tenderness of remembering you are still here. You'll find verses that stand defiantly in the wreckage, and lines that curl soft as ivy around the fragile truth that even in ruin, beauty remains. These pieces are personal, but they are also universal. They belong to anyone who has ever been shattered and still chosen to grow. Cinder & Ivy is not a book that holds your hand with false comfort. It does not look away from pain, nor does it dress wounds in easy platitudes. Instead, it names the hurt and honors it. But within those same pages, it also names the strength-the quiet, relentless rising that happens when you realize you were never meant to stay buried beneath the rubble. This book is for the ones who were told they were too much or not enough. For those who learned survival young, who built their lives from fragments, who turned silence into song. For the ones who carry both tenderness and fury in equal measure. It is for the brokenhearted and the healing, the wanderers and the rooted, the ones who still believe-despite everything-that there is more waiting on the other side of pain. These words do not come polished from ivory towers or detached from experience. They come from the lived grit of fire and the stubborn bloom of green. They come from the voice of someone who has walked through loss, through betrayal, through the quiet violence of being unseen, and still chose to keep speaking. They come raw, sometimes bleeding, but always real. In these pages, you will not find perfect answers. You will not find tidy endings. What you will find is reflection, defiance, survival, and a hand reaching toward yours saying: I've been there too. You'll find the reminder that you can stand again, that beauty can come from the cracks, that strength is not the absence of breaking but the rising after. Cinder & Ivy is not just poetry. It is a mirror, a map, and a companion for those who need to be reminded that they are not alone in the ruins. It is a love letter to resilience, a witness to sorrow, and a testament to the wild, unkillable roots that grow inside us all. Step into these words. Let them settle where they are needed. Let them remind you that even in the ashes, life is not finished. The cinders of our past do not define us-they make way for the ivy that climbs..
