Chrissy Moon wrestles with imaginary demons so that she may bring you horror short stories, and loves & hates to extremes so that she may bring you poetry with intense emotions. Every now and then she might write a tale filled with mystical beings who live in our world, but she will always write about the strength of a human spirit.
“Sweet Faded Ink” has relatable poems of love, loss, growth, change. They’re well written, with intriguing imagery. “I compose a rainstorm of thoughts, and each one falls to the ground.” “I cannot take your empty lies, not your mouth that reeks of snake-blood.” “If I can turn my eye one way inside my mind to see myself . . .” Well done!
A beautiful collection of poems from Chrissy Moon! I started reading this with no expectations, and the words moved through me, reaching parts of my heart and soul that I didn't think anyone knew about. There were words, raw and true on the page, woven tales of love, woe, loss, truth. Such beauty & simplicity, each poem was like a piece of someone (the author?). Short, amazing collections of feelings and heart pouring, I found myself strangely attached to them. After all, they are only words...how can they be such a part of me? How could she know these parts of me? I absolutely adored this collection, and would recommend it to every romantic out there. These poems are full of such feeling and emotion, enough to fill the heart and soul!
I'm not much of a poetry reader, so I can't speak toward the technical aspects, except to say that spelling and grammar were impeccable throughout the book. It's a lovely little collection of poems, most talking about love or the loss of such. Very romantic! I applaud the author for publishing this sweet collection!
Such beautiful, raw and honest poems. Her words strike to the core of regret, loneliness, inner strength and weakness, while exploring the boundary between living and surviving through the consequences of losing the one you love.
This is a fantastic collection of poems that will surprise, inspire, and break your heart. It was such magic to read and perfectly captured the inner workings of a woman in pain.
Sweet Faded Ink is the perfect title for this wonderful and heart-felt collection of poems.
