What if life didn't have to feel like survival? What if love was steady? What if joy was allowed? What if we chose warmth over the hustle? A Crown Of Sunlit Things was born from golden evenings, quiet streets, countryside paths, and these nagging questions.
Written while wandering through castles, ruins, and her lover's hometown, her collection lives at the intersection of fairytale longing and real emotional growth. Blending dreamy imagery with modern vulnerability, this collection explores what happens after survival-when love is no longer something to endure, but something safe enough to rest inside of. These poems celebrate tenderness, devotion, partnership, and the kind of romance built on warmth rather than chaos.
Inside, you'll find:
- Soft, steady love instead of dramatic highs and lows
- European-inspired imagery: castles, cobblestone streets, wildflower fields, golden light
- Healing after heartbreak, trauma, and emotional exhaustion
- Sensuality & Intimacy written with warmth, reverence, and emotional depth
- Domestic intimacy woven with fairytale wonder
- Dreaming of a slower, softer life built on presence, not pressure
- Happiness & Hope
Written during a season of travel and romantic daydreaming, A Crown Of Sunlit Things captures the moment you realize you are allowed to build a life that feels beautiful-not just productive.
This is poetry for romantics tired of the grind.
For readers who love fairytale-inspired aesthetics, and emotionally honest reflections on love, healing, and desire.
For anyone craving emotional safety and softness.
For anyone who is learning that gentleness is not weakness.
You survived, now you get to live.
