196 poems. Over 200 pages. No rules.
There is no rhyme, reason, or order to this collection.
Only poetry.
The Moonlight Archives is a collection of 196 poems written across a journey through childhood, adulthood, love, heartbreak, loneliness, memory, depression, fear, death, imagination, and everything in between.
Some poems are soft.
Some are bitter.
Some remember a childhood filled with snow forts, beach trips, fireflies, cartoons, and buttered toast. Others confront the weight of adulthood, the fear of being forgotten, the ache of loving someone who may not love you back, death, depression and more.
There is no single story to follow. No carefully arranged progression from beginning to end.
One page may bring you a love poem.
The next may bring you grief.
Then nostalgia.
Then fear.
Then something silly and innocent.
Then death.
Then hope.
That unpredictability is intentional.
Inspired by a childhood game called Flip and Listen, this collection invites you to open to any page, choose any poem, and let chance decide what you need to hear.
Read it cover to cover.
Read one poem before bed.
Open it to a random page.
Or play Flip and Listen and see what the book has waiting for you.
Some snippets from the book...The easiest way
To miss what never was
Is to dream.
I haven't felt safe enough to love in a really long time
To open myself and let them see a heart that's anything but divine.
I used to imagine myself as
An astronaut that conquered the dark night sky.
I miss my big yard
But more importantly
I miss all the things
I got to do in it
Because my time
Was actually mine.
