It Begins......

The Art of Being Ruined is a collection of poetry about love in its most consuming form, the first time your heart forgets its own boundaries.

It begins with the sweetness of surrender,
the dizzy calm before the storm, when love feels like discovery. But as emotion deepens, so does the unraveling.

These poems trace the journey from devotion to destruction, from obsession to release.

They capture the beauty in breaking, the art in losing, and the quiet courage it takes to let go,
and in some rare cases; to hold on.

This is a book dedicated to you.
The first to ruin me,
in ways, I've not yet noticed.
These poems are inspired by you.
And the love I will always have for you.
You are my first obsession.

This is a book for anyone who has loved so
deeply it became both their masterpiece
and their undoing.

For anyone who’s learned that sometimes,
being ruined is how we begin again.
