To Dream is to Forget. Content Warning.
"I've dreamed a lot. I'm tired now from dreaming, but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake." - Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

The Book and The Lamp. Content Warning.
Neil envied people who say they love sleep. Those who say they see it as a refuge where they can rest and renew safely. For Neil, sleep was never safe. It had always been a noisy, chaotic place. When he was younger, he was plagued with nightmares. For a while, thanks to lousy sleeping patterns that involved staying awake as long as he possibly could and waking up earlier than he should. The dreams he remembered were scarce these days. Until the book and the lamp started haunting him.

The Accidental Poet: Poetry Collection by Paul Stewart - Reminder and Review Request
Following on from my first couple of reviews of Vocal creator-penned books, which you can read here and here, I wanted to take the opportuunity to be my own advocate. In December 2023, a lot of monumental things happened...I mean I am sure they did. For me, one of the most important was the release of my first self-published book.

scratches in my mind - per sempre
release the pressure rename forever "until" our future remains * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: I am having an interesting time writing these senryu that make up the unexpected and unplanned "scratches in my mind" series. Perhaps there is a chapbook in the making. We shall see. Anyway...hope you are enjoying it.
